    No sense of history...

    Just a small anecdote.

    I was at the con getting pizza (in the AP) when i heard this 18?yr old introduce himself as "the Prophet". I almost turned around and said "No, you're not".

    Sheesh.

    Hey, at least the kid didn't call himself Acidburn or something like that.
    But still, taking names from history is not cool. Even if the kid thought of it himself (which I doubt), he should have the decency to check and see if he is stealing it from someone WORTH having it exclusive.
    And yes, this is my first post in quite a while.

      Maybe he saw "Hackers" and thought Prophet was a fictional character?

        At DCX, I was the only person you saw with an orange t-shirt.
