This is a great ng! I have been lurking, I don't have the ability to do this myself. This reminded me of a question. Where did the name MOBY DICK come from? I never read the book, but watch the miniseries and I didn't catch the source of the name. > I posted this one before, > Dolfin, whale tail and ship. > _ > `o' _._(_( > ' ` _|_(_(/| > (/_((_( /\ > _ _ ___________ _ , -- . _ _______/}_((_(/__)_ > `-. \`. ,-' .^. `-. ~ ~\\_______/ > `'. `-.). /,-''"', `""``-.\ ~ > `. `. : : / | : : ~ ~ > `. ` ,,--'--..|_ > .-""-. /, .' ,' """ ""-- > -.__ \| - PGMG > > -- > Paul gradenwitz __ > Philips Semiconductors AG ,' `.--._ > Zuerich, Switzerland ,'( ) ) ) > mailto:p.j...@zrh.sc.philips.com ( (`. __,__-' > Correct my name to the seccond word `---'--' > in the first sig. line (swiss->english translation) > -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/ Now offering spam-free web-based newsreading

Well, I just happened to have my "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable" right next to me... "MOBY DICK-- the great white whale who is the "hero" of Herman Melville's novel named after him, (1851). He is pursued by Captain Ahab, whose one aim is to kill him. In the end both whale and man are destroyed. Moby Dick is regarded as representing the elusive reality of life, which in the end brings only death. The whale and his name were apparently based on a real whale, "Mocha Dick", which caused loss of life to whalers and damage to whaling ships in the 1830s and 1840s." .-------------'```'----......,,__ _, | `'`'`'`'-.,.__ .'( | `'--._.' ) | `'-.< \ .-'`'-. -. `\ \ -.o_. _ _,-'`\ | ``````''--.._.-=-._ .' \ _,,--'` `-._( (^^^^^^^^`___ '-. | \ __,,,...--' ` ````````` `'--..___\ |` jgs `-.,' And who says you don't learn anything on USENET...? -joan -- () __ ///\ joan stark () _./////_ _ <spu...@juno.com> .-' __'-. //\ () / (o) \\ === \//// } // `` -=((( ASCII ART GALLERY: `\ ---. /\\\\ <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/> '\'.`/_____.;' '-' `-` `\/ jgs
