The Wonderful Realm of Word Verification

I was contemplating leaving a comment of a friend's blog right now. And the random string of characters that word verification threw at me was 'tasiodrv'. It has such a nice ring to it. Of course, I suppose it all depends on how you pronounce it in your head. Tasiodurv. The 'ta' from 'mata' (hindi for mother, yes), and the 'dur' pronounced like the hindi word for distant, all capped off with a mellow, almost 'w'-like 'v' at the end. That's what it sounds like in my head. What a lovely word that would be. So very.. science fiction-y. I have half a mind to use it as a name (for something) in my next story. It's a good deal better off as a proper noun than, say, Zbigniew Preisnet. Some Eastern European composer's name, I believe.

Zbigniew is an AWESOME name. If I hadn't already settled on Caius Valerius for my male child, I would probably call him Zbigniew.

Useless Fact: Zbigniew Brezhinsky was a US secretary of state.

Here's another amazing real life name: Spiro Agnew - Nixon's VP.

Of course, sometimes word verification just throws up the most delectable gibberish. Like what I'm being asked to post this comment: cujxxjcg.
