[QUOTE="Dreadgerbil, post: 202773, member: 2219"] Long story short, back in the good old days of first getting online, I was signing up to Hotmail at the same time as my then girlfriend. We were both taking Classical Studies and she chose an email handle on the basis of a myth we had just studied in depth. The title of the main divinity in that myth was 'The Dread.' (I won't use the whole thing here because I don't know if she still uses that email.) At any rate, I decided it would be funny to have a Dread in my email and, being about 17 at the time, thought Dread Gerbil sounded fantastic. It kinda stuck and I've used it since even though I am no longer a fan of Hotmail. Unfortunately, a lot of people read it as Dr Eadgerbil or Dredger Bill. So I usually have to spell it out carefully when telling it to anyone. [/QUOTE]
