[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] A “minotaur” is a mythological humanoid with the body of a man and the head of a bull. What does that say about a person who would choose that as a username/self-decription? BTW, I call myself “BrainGlutton” because my brain is gluttonous. But some Dopers seem to have put other interpretions on it . . . never mind. [/QUOTE] You give him too much credit for subtility. ---
