HannibalV…is that short for Hannibal Vector? Are you a math genius? Sorry if this sounds stupid. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw your name. I’m going to feel dumb when you tell me that Hannibal is your birth name…
[/hijack]
Not quite. the “Hannibal” is taken from everyone’s favorite anthropophage, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. The “V” is from something no noe here has figured out yet, so I ain’t telling, except to say it’s not for vector.
And as for being a math genius, I topped out at Calculus III.
