Tantalus - root of the word tantalize, greek. Mythological king, supposedly a son of Zeus. He was tortured after his death by being chained, always hungry and thirsty, with water below and fruit above, but the water always recedes when he tries to drink it and the fruit always lifts to high when he tries to eat it. Though I have no interest in being bound and teased, I do like to tantalize others. 42 - The answer to life, the universe, and everything (see: Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Not my age is many presume (though I'm getting there faster and faster it seems). I have this name on several locations, it's become my new favorite. Other online names are similar, usually a greek mythological character followed by the number 42. Cepheus42 being the other main one I use (king Cepheus, who bound his daughter to the rocks to feed her to the Kraken).
