Ahh post padding.....

It's evil and should be stamped out.

Like anybody cares about it except as an excuse to have silly little parties.

From a conversation with my girlfriend about James Bond after consuming far too many mind-altering substances. We got to thinking that 006 was probably senior to 007, and began working our way down the list until we reached 000. Pronounced out loud in the Bond tradition you get 'Double-oh-oh' (sounds a lot like uh-oh). This struck us both as ridiculously funny and worth remembering so I scrawled it onto my arm before succumbing to the effects of overindulgence. The next morning I read it as Agent 0=Agent Zero, and figured it sounded pretty cool as a monkier.

Agent Zero is also the name of a character from the X-Men comics, a rather rubish band, and the founder of a shadowy organization in 'Hell is for Heroes'.

Mine is the name of a character that can be found in one of my favorite computer games...a character that is incredibly hard to find, so its not very common. I have no idea about where the game creator may have dug the name up, tho.
Anyone else on these forums ever found niltrias? Don't ask me which game; if you found him, you would definitely remember.
Or you could google it, I suppose.
