Uh-oh, the short-lived thread about new usernames. Oh well. Why the Modern Prometheus? Well, I just like the name. WHere did the name come from? It is the alternate title of Mary SHelley's book Frankenstein. Prometheus, in Greek Myth, was a titan who gave the gift of fire to mankind or in other legends shaped him out of clay and water. For doing this, the gods chained him to a rock where a bird would eat his liver everyday, but it would grow back everyday and so on and so on. This parellels to the book because Dr. Frankenstein in this case is Prometheus, who gave the gift of fire, or life, to the monster, and he was then punished by the Monster who killed all his friends and family. SO i just decided to spruce things up a bit, first username change in my time here, so tell me what ya think. SO just call me TMP or MP if you want. Either one.

I like that name better than buttonpresser myself, and in short form it looks much better. When I type in BP I can't help but to think of Boston Pizza. TMP you shall be called by me then. It seems like an obvious choice when you think about it. You have a liking for a great book and you make a profile out of it. I've done that at least 3 times all ready and probably 5 times from computer games. Do you have an idea for a signature change or do you plan to keep your current one?
