FAO all Rawkites. Need help with college project
« on: January 17, 2008, 09:49:36 pm »
I have to create a 10 page newspaper but I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on a name. I have a number of options above but I'm open to other ideas.

I want a name that represents my intended editorial policy and as a romantic idealist I want it to reflect that. my reasoning for my choices so far below;

Bue: apparently a teacher god of wisdom and handy information originating from an obscure pacific island religion

Crane: yes the bird, apparently the native american symbol representing justice, longevity, independence, intelligence and vigilance

Coeus: Greek titan. God of intelligence & deep searching questions

Philanthropist: A person with a profound love of humanity

Hicksian: In homage to my usernamesake who I perceive as representing the values of common sense, compassion, objectivity and understanding.
 
Uranus: rules freedom and individuality. It often shows surprise, originality, anything new, unique and unusual. You can expect the unexpected wherever it is found, together with a need for liberty and self-determination. Uranus is connected with astrology, all new technologies, the Internet and computers.

Uranus, for obvious reason.
"You have to admire animals. Hamster spun round in a wheel three times bigger than him and abruptly lands on his back. Then just gets up and carries on as if nothing happened! If that was a human he'd be helicoptered to hospital, off work for 6 months have back issues for 20 years and then start legal proceedings against the wheels owner"

Coeus, has a kind of a ring to it......not half as much as Uranus though ;)
He wasn't perfect, he made mistakes. But he was genuine. He had the best interests of the club at heart, and gave us a plethora of successful teams that we should have been thankful for.

Perhaps you should name it after the great thinker Immanuel Kant?

"For All You Kant's."

"Kant Of The Day."

reporting news as opposed to spinning it, allowing people to make up their own mind. In this case.

All of yours are crap except maybe the Hicksian. The Philanthropist sounds nice but people will want to know when you are going to give loads of cash to charities.

In Greek mythology, Uranus had his cock and balls cut off by his son, Kronos, and thrown into the sea.

Go for the daily RAWK.

We had a similar task, and our lecturer said we could call the paper anything we wanted, as long as it wasn't racist or sexist.  "The Daily All Women Belong In the Kitchen" would have sounded good, I reckon.
She keeps getting texts off him saying "Oh please take me back, I love you and I'm still not over you". We read them together naked and then we laugh about it. Then she blows me off.
