Did you noticed the ethymology of the word "Emmerdeur" ?

And Emmerdeur can be a :
  • trouble-maker
  • complete moron
  • someone pretty annoying


and lastly Emmerdeur come from the verb Emmerder : covering with fecal matter :)

I guess it won't be your next handle :rofl

Yep Quicksilver is actually 3 books in one convenient package.  If you get Diamond Age and Snow Crash you could travel to Mars and not run out of reading material.  :)
