Well, you can just ignore the title in bold ... Anyway, If you are brushed up on your ancient egyptian culture and religion you will know what "Ka" means. If you know this, you can understand why i put "THE" in bold
I was wondering if you were doing the Egyptian thing THE Ka, and I like saying your name in posts, THE Ka. Hehe, it's like The Cheat.
Ku, Ku, Ku!

My given name is Shannon. Feel special my fellow posters I don't reveal it to just any internet soul. It's the biggest River in Ireland and it means "Old One". My parents probably didn't know this, but I like it.

Ainaserkewen (Eye-Na-Serk-a-wen) from the name generator, means Maiden of the Holy Blood. I've always like the idea of being a kind of Merovingian when it came to heritage. I'm not, but I like to think I am.

Hmm...

...Okay....

The Cheats...Well, I like his bust of Van Buren.

Mix me with a Marzipan and The Cheat and you'll come across a Ka.

They are... Interesting. I guess.

Oh, how I love an excuse to do dorky research! It means "Eagle of the West"; according to the Encyclopedia of Arda article about it, it is possibly the constellation Aquila, the Eagle. Information on that hither.

Ka I always thought that your name was from the movie " A fish called Wanda" (Monty Python), where the guy kept saying "the ka, the ka" but he couldn't say anything past that. I suppose I was mistaken.

Oh I love that movie!

Another thing that caught me off guard was when on an episode of The Simsons, Moe says, " I think I left my Ka back there". It was the episode were Homer tries to get into the Guiness book of World records, by playing a banjo with a snake... Then he moves on to having the world's tallest human pyramid, (using all of springfield of course...) and then it falls down (Homer was on top...) and the whole town rolls into a gigantic ball and lands on a giant scale... They end up being the fattest town. Moe always has been my favorite...

Roughly translated it means I go around everywhere bouncing a Tennis Ball.

I can provide a more accurate translation if anyone desires.
