This little factoid just keeps screaming back to my brain:

Quote:
Cycnus was a bloodthirsty and cruel man in Macedonia who was so murderous he aspired to build a temple to his father constructed from the skulls and bones of travelers, whom Cycnus would kill in passing. His building days came to an end however, when Cycnus encountered Heracles near the River Echedorus. Desiring to please his father, Cycnus challenged Heracles to single combat, wishing to add Heracles' bones to his temple. This was an extremely foolish move . . . Cycnus was indeed killed by Heracles.

Why pick a screen name like THAT? If I were going back, I think I'd go back as Heracles.

You think maybe this is a not-so-subtle hint to us that this new temple is being built on our bones? Honestly, I feel like they'd rather build a membership from a new fan base and be done with all of us and our "difficult" attitudes, but that's just the way I feel.
