FoxAndChicken Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Mine is because I'm a logic major, and our school has a late night taxi service that takes you home from the library when you're studying pretty late. Every time I've taken it, I've had almost the exact same conversation. "So, what do you study?" "Logic! It's really fun stuff!" "So, have you heard the one about the chicken, the fox, and the bag of grain?" "Uh, yeah." And I'm usually too tired to explain that that's not what I do. (I think that question falls under graph theory, actually.) But it's funny to me, because I get this question so much, and it's always a different person. I think it's kind of like when math majors tell people they do math and someone asks them what 26*32 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoh197 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 When I started my undergrad... the university assigned you an email with a preselected username. After 4 years, it was easier to just keep using if for everything because my fingers are lazy and don't want to type something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demeter Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Demeter is a goddess of agriculture with a cool story. I like mythology. I thought it was fitting for two reasons. 1) I'm an agriculturalist, and I have a hat I wear in the fields that my friends call my agricultural goddess hat. 2) By using the name, I get to use creative commons art for avatars, which is helpful, because I am not photogenic, and I like to maintain an air of mystery on the web. TL;DR. I'm an agriculturalist. It's a joke about a hat. I'm not really the goddess of my field. DodoBirdBlergh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuddlyWingman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Combination of my old gamertag "SnoopysWingman" and what I nicknamed my Jigglypuff that solo'd Firered back in the day, "CuddlyDoom". So, yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat_Robutt Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I clearly love cats, as my avatar is a pic of my cat; and for some reason it highly amuses me when people pronounce "robot" like ro-butt, so a phonetic spelling was used here.
