Terrell, long lost cousin of Gilderoy Lockhart and not sure exactly where he is, walks cautiously down the long hall lined with classrooms until he reaches one with quite the debate going on inside. Listening closely, he begins to understand that the argument is about the origins and meanings of the name "Arabella" (as in Figg). Never the one for an unanswered riddle, he pops from out his black, satin cloak (because he is just that suave) a new pair of stylish, yet affordable black infoculars (brought to you by the same smiling people who make "Omnioculars"!) and quickly references some muggle websites on baby names.... http://www.ivillage.co.uk/pregnancyandbaby/babynames/meanings/1,10615,915_10~12,00.html http://www.baby-names-meanings.com/firstnames/girlsa-i.html "Hmmm.... very interesting..." he says under his breath as the results come up. It seems that they both list similar meanings of "Fine Shrine" or "Beautiful Sanctuary". Pleased with his discovery, he is about to walk into the classroom and offer his newly begotten knowledge to the pot, but decides he better not as it would appear someone in there is desperately trying to stop the other from bouncing a ferret all over the place, and he doesn't have a stomach for animal cruelty (even if the animal is not really an animal (other than a human one). He strolls onward, and out of the hall, remembering that he has a date with some AFRICAN HIPPIES later on, and that he must dress his best (when doesnt he?), so he disapparates quickly to his abode (aka: lurkdom) to prepare. ltg3asu ps what a wonderful romp through T-Bay.... I really must do it more often. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for ICQmail at http://www.icq.com/icqmail/signup.html
