Hi Ciro :)

You are right. The Metallica song is named after a book of Howard P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu.

Andrew.


Well, they have got strange animals in Australia... But still I guess that marsupials and monotremes are mammals.

[quote="Andrew Fan"]Just a bit of late night fun. Engine names from Olivier's Chess War web pages.

Classified with my limited knowledge so it will contain errors. Some engine has no version because I'm too lazy to type them in.

Well, name "Homer" is used because i'm fan of the FreeTV serie "Simpsons". Need a new group "comic/TV" ?

Great list :mrgreen:

Yes, a group for comic/tv would be great, Spike would also belong to this then. With Gromit there would be at least 3 engines in it.

Most people think that Spike is the dog from "Tom and Jerry", but our (and especially our wifes) intention was the vampire from the tv-series "Buffy the vampire slayer" :-)

Btw, another cool group would be "Tolkien's world", with actually at least 3 engines: Gothmog, Glaurung and Gandalf. And I still hope that some new engines will belong to this group in the future.
