My real name is “Excitable, Misunderstood Genius,” and my screen name (divided between This and Years) gave me “Dependable Skeleton,” which sums up my last few days perfectly.

ahunter 3 gave me “Caramel”; and my real name gave me “8-Legged DJ”.

But (to answer the question the answer to which we’ve all been secretly waiting for): if you put in Wu-tang Clan, the clan’s own Wu name is “Tha Ever So Weary Assistant”.

So now you know…

And maybe I’m missing something here, but have Eve and Saxface been outed as the actual members of The Wu-Tang Clan? And I thought I was confused by rap music before.

If I use my screen name I get “Auxillary Priest”. If I use my real name I get “Action-Packed Mentallist”. Cool, I think.

Anyone have any thoughts on how this thing works? It’s not randomised, it’s not by the number of letters, and it’s not by the first two letters of the first and last name. Any thoughts?
