Okay...so...we have a University, and we have a library...I would like to name them.I would prefer to have the library named for someone who is or was in the nation, somebody of historical value. However, the University is pretty wide open. I'm taking any suggestions. So you can suggest anything from "The Sir John Metzler University" to "The University of Shireroth at Brookshire" to "Omiversidaat dIardista."My own suggestions?The University of ShirerothThe Kaiser's Imperial CollegeJohn Metzler University [ed: don't ask me why, I don't know.]Tony Au Memorial LibraryAracic Memorial LibrarySiskind Honourary LibraryMetzler Honourary LibraryAny other suggestions are welcome.Cheers and Thank-ye's.-The MoRE -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar.

I was going to suggest some memoriam to the late great Harvey Steffke, or the FIoJ... but I can't think of anything fitting...

I don't think he contributed enough to this nation...he has Jasonia as his monument, so he doesn't get out library...I'm quite partial to naming the Library for Tony or Stjepan...maybe Ari...do we have any other bookworms? -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar.

But the library isn't dedicated to sciences (as much as you would like it to be)....so... -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar.

I like the Tony Au Library - I prefer to harbor hopes that the other two are either destined to come back or at least hang around, whereas DS obviously needs a memorial - not to mention that I can totally see DS as being memorialized in a library, whereas Ari would need more of a memorial bar/coral reef, and Stjepan maybe a memorial cemetary or concert hall....OR A CEMETARY/CONCERT HALL!!!!...we have a stadium/airport, so why not? Wouldn't that be great...you could be buried in the concert hall...and hear music your entire afterlife...except...what would happen when the musical styles changed...and you started hating it...and you had to listen to all this crappy new stuff while you were trying to be dead...so maybe it's not such a good idea....wheeeeee sleep deprivation!SUPPORT THE STJEPAN ARACIC MEMORIAL CEMETARY/CONCERT HALL!!!

I don't really have an objection to the latter so much as a total lack of comprehension and a bemused look on my face.
