so, i have this awesome fish. it's a black ghost knife, 'bout 7inches long. nearly blind, still hates light. navigates with electrical pulses, moves with one long waving ventral fin.

this awesome fish has a lame-ass name. some chick named it, and i dislike said female pretty strongly. anyway, fish needs a new, awesome name.

i'll post a reward of some sort via TangoUniform for whoever posts the one i pick.

here are some pics, sorry they suck. it's hard to take pictures of nocturnal fish.

I have to suggest the all-original Bob. I also suggest you take a boring name (such as america and flip it. america = acirema
alvaro = oravla
stefano = onafets

then, you can always add a flair! onafets = pwnafets!


:-/ just an idea :)

I suggest a synonym of knife. Pick one.

Synonyms: bait chopper, bayonet, blade, bolo, cutlass, cutter, cutting edge, dagger, edge, frog sticker, lance, lancet, machete, ooloo, point, ripper, sabre, scalpel, scimitar, scythe, shank, shiv, sickle, skewer, skiver, steel, stiletto, switchblade, sword, tickler, ulul

Or Couteau De Fant�me which is French for Ghost Knife. Teh ladies love that shit.:)

i have four fish (down from seven, this one gets hungry at night), therefore i can't use just "fish" - and that's not cool enough for this one, no offense to yours.

Spee
2004-01-20, 11:43 PM
No offense taken. My mom has a bad habit of naming things cutesy and frilly things (Naming the basset hound "Lola"), so, i just took to calling the animals in my house by more utilitaritarian names.

SMART SENSING:
Sensory Acquisition in Weakly Electric Fish
and applications to biorobotics



The research in our laboratory is focused on understanding "smart sensing" in animals. We're interested in how the nervous system extracts and enhances behaviorally relevant information and suppresses irrelevant background noise. To achieve this goal, the brain actively controls the process by which it acquires sensory information from the environment. The goal of our research is to understand the neural mechanisms and computational principles involved in this process. Smart sensing is not a single mechanism or algorithm. Rather it is the result of systems-level integration of multiple cooperative mechanisms, including:dynamic positioning of peripheral sensory structures

task-specific adaptive sensory filtering
generation and subtraction of sensory expectation
adaptive gain control
mechanisms for spatial attention
multiresolution filtering
stochastic coding and processing

Choose the name of a deity from D&D, or a city in forgotten realms, I have the exact same problem when naming my capitol ships in X2.

Example:

Pelor
Asmodeus
Torm

Or you could go with a good Viking name, like:

Ragnar
Odin
Thorvodin

Make your fish sound mighty some how.
