Has anyone noticed before that many words that we usually use are taken from the ancient Roman culture?
-Nemesis: as featured in rsident evil 3: Nemesis, nemesis is the Roman God of revenge.
-Nike: is the Roman God of victory.
-Morpheus: as seen in the matrix, he's the Roman God of dreams. (Fits perfectly!!)

That's because they were both topics which were both worth discussion. Homosexuality, quiz programs, anything else is just a waste of time to talk about. I don't have time to waste in pointless chating.
That my friend, is called irony
Has anyone noticed how birds only ever poop on your car after you've washed it?
Has anyone noticed how Peter Jamison replies to nearly every one of Cusack's posts?
Also if I may add,
The Calabolg is a Celtic sword of mythology rumored to be so strong, it could cut the hills of Ireland in two. If you're interested in the subject, there are A LOT of resources on the web that deal with Celtic mythology. Just use google.com
Yuna's Celestial Weapon is Nirvana. The name is obviously derived from the
Buddhist faith.
the Japanese Final Fanstasy X game
is deeply rooted in spiritual, holy, or religious matters, even more so than the American game. The Crests and Sigils are actually called Scrolls and Holy Scrolls, respectively, in the Japanese release.
In Japanese, Kimahri's Sigil was the Thursday Holy Scroll. All of the
characters had days, not planets (or satelites, YUNA!), assigned to them.
Holy Thursday is a very special day in the Christian faith (which I'm not
going to get into), and Kimahri's ultimate weapon was called Longinus in
the Japanese edition. Longinus is the suposed name of the Roman soldier who pierced Jesus Christ's side with a spear as he hung on the cross.
Obviously, America is too fragile to include these "deep, dark elements of
religion" in a game, so it was tuned down to Spirit Lance. Also, if you pay attention to this kind of stuff, the Lance of Longinus is
also the name of a Holy Lance in an anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion. This anime was very popular when FFX was in it's production stages. Still is,actually. Throughout the game, Auron is your fighter and strongest character. I think the Mars Crest and Mars Sigil fit him well, as Mars was the Roman God of War.

Well they have to come from somewhere. "Modern English" is far from a root language
