Hi guys, just curious: why is Nimrod called "Nimrod"? I understand that Nimrod was the grandson of Noah in the bible or something. Araq? Any comment? Thanks!

Because there is only One True God. All Praise be to thee, Ganesha, you beautiful man-ephant.

All Praise to Nimrod, the honey badger. Or maybe not, since he doesn't care anyway.

I named Nimrod after the first king in the history of humanity. That he is responsible for the Babylonian confusion is a coincidence.
