What's In A Name? - NAP - 04-07-2010
My screen name â NAP â represents my favorite part of independent study and taking exams for credit. There are No Assigned Papers to write! As a math major, this is great.

What's In A Name? - Maniac Craniac - 07-17-2010
Maniac Craniac (n) He who suffers from Crania Mania.
Crania Mania (n) Compound syndrome of excess excitement or energy levels (mania) and an obsession with matters related to the content of the neurocranium (crania).
The name came to me in a flash of insight. It was originally an internal debate between Maniac Craniac and Maniac Brainiac. Obviously, the former won, but why? Well, I couldn't very well call myself a "brainiac" when I was a newbie to DegreeInfo, a site flooded with Doctors, Half-Doctors, Professors and ShotoJuku :eek:
I think it has a nice ring to it
and an awesome initialization it and it rhymes

In the dark ages, long before Al Gore invented the internet, and anyone knew what a screen name was, my handle came to be. I happened to have a book signed by author Stephen King on 8/8/88. For some reason he wrote, âTo Terry â Master of the Universe.â
