I'm not really sure I want to know what Heathy is talking about. I've grown rather fond of my eyeballs and would prefer they didn't burn from my skull with that kind of madness-inducing knowledge.

Yeah. I read Heathy for his hallucination inducing syntax. The poetry of it.

[Taliesin Hoyle]

Who is Heathy? That is not a funny roman name. I call shenaniganicusi

The "Asterix" comic book series, set during ancient Roman times, has lots of funny names. The series, originally written in French, gives Romans names like Sacapus (meaning "flea-bag") and Epinedecactus (meaning "cactus thorn"). Obviously, the English translation changes the names to make it work for English-speakers.

Here's a sample.

Odius Asparagus
Gracchus Armisurplus
Caius Fatuous
Lotuseatus
Overanxious
Superfluous
(the Roman governor of Briton) Encyclopaedicus Britannicus
Linguae Lapsus
Crismus Bonus
Varius Flavus
Fellinus
Caius Eucalyptus
Vexatius Sinusitus (who gets sick during the story)
Curius Odus
Gluteus Maximus
Gaius Veriambitius
Nebulus Nimbus
Felonius Caucus
Infirmofpurpus
Laurensolivius
Tremensdelirius
Egganlettus
Scrofulus
Ignoramus
Caius Preposterus
Incongruous

...well, you get the idea.

Reminds me of a farce parody of Greek tragedy I wrote in college... Chlamydia, Queen of Ilium.

Once upon a time, I was playing in a D&D campaign set in Ancient Rome. Julius Maximus, one of the other player characters, had seduced a senator's daughter and they were running off to get married. The girl had started off as a minor NPC that the DM hadn't put much detail into. In fact she didn't even have a name, just "the senator's pretty daughter". So Julius's player and the DM are busy trying to come up with a name for the blushing bride. In the spirit of sarcasm, I say, "How about 'Impedimentia'?" Without realizing I'd thrown out a joke name, both players jump on the name. And that's how our campaign wound up with Impedimentia Maximus.
