“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
- Lazarus Long, The Senior.
Yes! MacGyver was Lazarus! Enough said.

He probably can’t write a sonnet either, and neither can Lazarus. The point was to strive toward the goal, non?

Er… ΛορδΧηαος? Chaos is already a Greek word, and is properly spelled “Χαος” at the Greek “Χ” is pronounced “Ch”. In Greek, again, phnetically, “ΛορδΧηαος” trasliterates to English as “Lord Chee-aos” as the vowel eta (or “η”) is pronounced “ee”.
Makes you look, well, less than eddycated.

If you translate the whole name, of course, it would look like: “ΚυριεΧάος”

Thanks for the Greek lesson. However, you really should think of it as a character-by-character symbol replacement (in fact it started out as a conversion into the “Symbol” font in Microsoft Word), rather than anything to do with the Greek language (as this blogger’s total lack of “eddycation” in Greek is quite painfully obvious).

Lighten up, “PedanticMan”, it’s only a simple substitution cipher!
