HEthePrimate Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Howdy, folks!Many of you know me already from my posts, but my account was accidentally deleted, so I had to reopen it. Just thought I'd take the opportunity to reintroduce myself and explain my user name and avatar. "HEthePrimate" refers both to the animals and to the Catholic office of primate (from the Latin Primus, "first"), usually held by archbishops in the Western church. The animal in my avatar is, appropriately enough, a primate called a mandrill. The hat and tassels are from the ecclesiastical coat of arms of a Catholic primate. "HE" is an abbreviation of "His Excellency," an honorific title sometimes used when referring to a Catholic primate. However, I'm not Catholic--I'm LDS. Just couldn't resist having a little fun with the word "primate!" (No offense meant to any Catholics here.)Peace.HEP Edited April 18, 2009 by HEthePrimate Quote

HEthePrimate Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Posted April 19, 2009 Oh, and also, the motto underneath the mandrill reads "Rideamus" -- "Let us Laugh" in Latin. Laughter is the best medicine. It's healthy for us, and also I think we sometimes take ourselves too seriously, so the ability to laugh at ourselves and the issues is a good thing. HEP Quote
