I might, MAYBE, get called "L girl" by somebody, but "Girl L" doesn't work at all. .... Now, I know of an unluky US boy named Boner, but the idea that parents can be so cruel is quite absurd to me. Boy-O. Poor, poor soul. I've never seen the Icarus story as a lesson about the limitations of humans.
I see it as a lesson about the limitations of wax. “What else should you be? Human beings didn't evolve brains in order to lie around on lakes. Killing's the first thing we learned. And a good thing we did, or we'd be dead, and the tigers would own the earth.” ― Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game |
