English translation of the german word “Ubermensch”
A concept first posed by the philosopher Freidrich Nietzche, referring to some kind of “ideal” human. I’ve been reading a bit of philosophy lately and thought it was an interesting idea.
It also sounds bad-ass.
Btw, the “3” in place of “e” is not a lame attempt at internet-speak. Apparently “overman” is already taken…
I work with children diagnosed with Autism, and the first kid I ever worked with kept on saying “cherrymennos, cherrymennos”. He was good at spelling, and I asked him if he could spell it and he just smiled at me and said no. It is and was a mystery, and now I use it for everything! Myspace, etc. lol!

I was gonna mock your name, but then you mentioned the kid with autism. I don’t feel like punching my one way ticket to hell quite yet. Fascinating story.
Pretty much an infantile obsession with superheroes and Dan being my first name.
It pretty much works with any superhero with the “man” suffix
IronDan
BatDan
SuperDan
AquaDan
HawkDan
Used to use HyperSpiderDan abit after a dream I had when I was Spiderman, with super speed, super strength and physic powers. Told somebody one day and they asked if I was some sort of HyperSpiderDan.
I have a tattoo that took several sittings to complete, while it was in progress I was told that it looked like an “angry chicken”. In front of a bunch of my drunken rugby team mates. Up until then I didn’t have a nickname… now there are people that don’t know my real name.
i do get some strange looks in the gym (you know, because of all the fur and the fact that i’m not bipedal) and i have to use a false grip on everything because i don’t have opposable thumbs, so that can get tricky. you’ll also notice i rarely use capitol letters, that’s because it’s hard to hold the shift key and type using my paws.
