cuncuna is the spanish word for caterpillar. I use to sing a song about this when I was like 10 years old; in a duet with the third girl I fall in love with (I think her name was Allison). Also, a poem I like very much is about those creatures.

My friends and I use to discuss about prog in a mask, disguise of fictional prog university and we name ourselves after famous polish lawyers.
I am the Chancellor of course and my nickname is Rafał (Raphael) Taubenschlag, who was the polish greatest professor of Roman Law and Theory of Law in 20-30s - therefore RaphaelT is my PA nick.
But keep it quiet since the nicknames are the university best kept secrets!!

hmmm...
presumably a reference to the mathematical (i.e. Fibonacci) sequences found within Tool's "Lateralus", and their relationship to Archimedes' Golden Spiral, along with the lyrical reference to sprials...

Rush has a song called Test for Echo from the album with the same name. The lyrics have a part that says "video vertigo" so its a Rush reference. I choose that song for my nickname, because most people go for Cygnus or 2112 or the more popular stuff.

SOmeone gave me the nickname King of Bizarre (or KOB) becasue I listen to unusual music and know lots of little trivia facts. I misspelled Bizarre as Bizzare accidentally one time, so I just stuck with it.
I've also been known as Arctic because my now ex-girlfriend's 4 year old brother couldn't pronounce my name (Erik) correctly, so he just called me Arctic.

Is that an anagram of your full name? Quite ingenious... My full name is so long that it would be almost impossible to make it into an anagram (and I'm not gifted enough for that).

I've never heard their music, I just know of their existance.
Genesis and VdGG were College Rock bands at one point, don't dismiss it so easily!

I've been nicknamed "Oliver stoned" by friends because of my higher states of consciousness, and i kept this nickname (my real first name is "Olivier", the french for "Oliver"). This is also a play on word with the movie director "Oliver Stone".
I also discovered that there's a current artist/musician called the same. But if you type" Oliverstoned" in Google, the first answer to come is my progarchives profile. And if you type "oliverstoned" into Google/images (pictures) you'll find various nice pics coming indirectly from my Progarchives posting.
