  Now that's a spin I can honestly say I never thought of!

  Actually, Part Of This Has To Do With SuperHeroes; I Created A Hero Originally Called"WonderMan"; He Was Part Of The Galactica(TOS)Crew When They Found Earth. They United With The Justice League To Defend Earth From The Cylons. This Particular Viper Pilot was On a Archeological Mission In Egypt When He Accidentally Found The Mystic'Sword of Kobol', Brought To Earth By The 13th Tribe. Like Thor's Hammer, This Sword Transformed Him Into A 'Warrior From the Stars' According To An Ancient Prophecy, And He Would Be The Protector Of The Human Race. He Would, Of Course, Join The Justice League. Later,The Name Was Changed To 'Galactic Warrior' . The TOS Version Would Have Him In Ancient Egyptian Garb, From The Time of The Pharohs. The Remade Version Has Him Looking Like A Cross Between Hercules And King Leonidas.

             So, There's Another Crossover Concept I Came Up With. What Do You Think?

  Leonidas and Shooter!  I just thought of an other great call sign for any new members of your squadrons who don't know that to call them selves and don't want other folks to give them dorky names like funky chicken or anything like that.  THRASHER! Oh yeah! Now that's a cool call sign!  It means the same thing as Husker, but really sounds scary, violent, dangerous!

  Okay...I'll leave y'all alone for a while!

  I'll have to give it a look. If any others are into the Viking thing, Beowulf and Grendel come to mind...as does Thor, and any of their other gods. I know you'll be very well versed in all things Greek and Spartan! Klingon stuff might sound cool too!

  Mine Is LEONIDAS. If You Look At The Raven BFC Page, You Might Find Some Of The 'Callsigns' I've Come Up With.

  PS  Amy's call sign is Shooter.  I'm Scopion.  Do the Spartans have call signs yet?

  Amy, the book sounds very interesting!  Maybe there's a summary on Wikipedia...I dout there any of Cliff's Notes.  I must look it up though!

  Oh, Keith...Yep! Self Cremation is quite a concept! Lots of BSG is based on the Greeks, and they also did the cremation thing.  Actually lots of the cultures did back then...Celts, Greeks, Trojans, you name it.  Hmmm...On the series they also did a space equivalent of burrials at sea too...ummmm...sometimes a bit prematurely...Those airlocks got lots of use! Anyway, maybe she did that because she was on a planet and could cremate her self... But she was so freaked out, I think she just wanted to get rid of it all...Kind of like when children play hide and seek...If they close their eyes and can't see you, then maybe you can't see them!  That would totally freak most of us out, no doubt.

  :o)

  Keith, you're funny.

  John, yeah check out the comic book series the Final 5.  It's the back story of the 5 and how it all began on Kobol. Actually before the 5.  It gives the back story of Saul's father and Pythia.  I wish there had been more issues so they could have expanded on the story more, but it's a good read.

  The Thing That Struck Me Was When She Found Her Own Remains On The Cylon Earth(WHAT AM I??); Then Proceded To Give 'Herself' A Viking/Jedi Funeral.Intriging.
