Even closer: Martin ; )I don't think I know your name... Is it Mark?
What's his name?I'm named after my father
That's very nice! Never heard of this one... Thanks for that story!In Germany, when we were young, we used to gather with paper lanterns with a candle inside and walk around as a group in the evening on St. Martin's Day while singing songs about lanterns ... and we were obviously told the story with that coat.
I don't know why we did that, but the tradition still seems to exist. It even has a wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laternelaufen
I've never heard it called "Laternelaufen", though. We called it "Lampionumzug".
Identical to mine, both name and surname...What's his name?
I hated it, though. For one thing, some of the other children seemed to have much nicer lanterns than I did ... for another, I was too dumb to hold the bloody lantern straight, so my candle usually fell over and burned the thing ... and then I was the only kid without a functioning lantern.That's very nice!

Carolus Darwinius, also called "Lux Pater", shedder of light in dark places, for sure! He is closely followed by Rickhardus Dawkinsis, chastiser of the ignorants......What's your favourite?
Wouldn't it be brilliant to turn Dawkins into a god, the god of atheism.Carolus Darwinius, also called "Lux Pater", shedder of light in dark places, for sure! He is closely followed by Rickhardus Dawkinsis, chastiser of the ignorants...
In a more serious vein , I would have to choose Janus, since I love new beginnings and adventures of diverse kinds.
Make him "Divus Cultus Nostri", perhaps?Wouldn't it be brilliant to turn Dawkins into a god, the god of atheism.
