What does Hermes refer to anyways? I doubt if it's really about the
store.
It doesn't seem to me that you'd name your Couriers after greek gods,
but
maybe it's just me.

He he. Yeah, that will be one. I'm thinking we need famous
sheriff's and
the like. Who founded Scotland Yard? Wyatt and Virgil Earp?
Hammurabi
perhaps?

These are good. I need *lot's* of frigate names. Anyone got
non-fictional
hunters? I was going to use Hemmingway. Who else is a famous big-game
hunter?

I was wondering about this. Are their enough storm "types" to use,
or would
we need to use the "names" of hurricanes and typhoons instead?
