Lord British is a pseudonym Richard Garriott has used since his early years of playing dungeons & dragons. British is the character known as the king of Britannia in the Ultima series of RPG games he created in the early 80's.
Richard Garriott along with his father and a friend founded ORIGIN Systems Inc. in 1983. ORIGIN grew into the most successful independent computer game company in the United States. The Garriotts sold ORIGIN to Electronic Arts in 1992. It was a logical move at the time, but little did they know the biggest source of success would begin in 1997 with Ultima Online. Garriott continued to work for ORIGIN, he was the creative director over the games he produced. As the success grew, the insidious EA collective of corporate directors increased their control over the direction of ORIGIN's games. Garriott's great experience was ignored and he left OSI-EA in 1999.
In April of 2000 Garriott founded Destination Games which was soon partnered with NCsoft. Destination Games has recently worked on the Lineage series, and Tabula Rasa.
Richard Garriott was featured on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. He has been known to travel to exotic places such as the North Pole and under the ocean to see the Titanic. His house was built like his video games, with hidden passage ways, and a dungeon in the basement. Garriott is an avid Halloween go-er and has been known to host a semi-annual haunted house in his home which is called Britannia Manor.

(mix*oh*mah*toe*sis) Also known as 'myxomatosis cuniiculi'. Myxomatosis is a disease which only infects rabbits and is caused by the myxoma virus. First seen in Uruguay in the 1900s, it was intentionally introduced into Australia to control the rabbit over-population.
Also one of the best tracks from the rock band Radiohead's sixth album entitled 'Hail to the Thief' released in 2003.

A lyric excerpt from Radiohead's myxomatosis:
now no one likes a smart arse but we all like stars
that wasn't my intention, I did it for a reason
it must have got mixed up
strangled, beaten up
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis
now no one likes a smart arse but we all like stars
that wasn't my intention, I did it for a reason
it must have got mixed up
strangled, beaten up
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis

Dr Pepper, also known as DP. Created and sold in 1885 Waco Texas, one year before Coca-Cola existed, anyone who says it tastes like cherry coke is an idiot. If they are similar in taste, its cherry coke that resembles Dr Pepper not the other way around.
Dr Pepper contains 39.6 milligrams of caffeine per 12 ounce can. Dr Pepper was invented by a pharmacist by the name of Dr. Charles Alderton. Dr. Alderton began selling the original syrup un-carbonated at Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco Texas in 1885. At the time is was being sold as a vitalizing energy tonic. Customers asked to add carobonated seltzer-water to the syrup and they've been selling it carbonated ever since. Morrison the drug store owner later took over the business of selling Dr Pepper and teamed up with a local bottling plant owner Robert Lazenby.
Morrison & Lazenby founded the Artesian Mfg. & Bottling company which later became Dr Pepper/ 7UP Inc.
Dr Pepper/ 7UP Inc. is NOT owned by Pepsi, it is NOT owned by Coca-Cola. But in fact is owned by Cadbury Schweppes of London (they bought it out in 1995). Many people are confused why Dr Pepper is sold along side Coke & Pepsi products, Dr Pepper independently has contracts with Coke, Pepsi and various other bottling plants worldwide, this is because of the lack of bottling plants owned by Dr Pepper.
The ingredients in the unique beverage are classified but the company is clear it is composed of a variety of fruit flavors, prunes not being one of them.
Dr Pepper Slogans:
1889 to 1914 : "King of Beverages"
1923 to 1950 : "Good for Life"
1926 to 1930's : "Drink a Bite to Eat at 10-2-4 O'Clock"
1950's : "The Friendly Pepper-Upper"
1960's : "The most misunderstood soft drink." "So Misunderstood"
1970's : "The most original soft drink ever."
1977 : "Be a pepper", "I'm a Pepper, You're a Pepper, Wouldn't You Like to Be a Pepper, Too?"
1980 : "Hold out for the out of the ordinary."
1980's: Just what the Dr. ordered!
1994 : "You're a part of me. I'm a part of you."
1997 : "Now's the Time. This is the Place", "Dr Pepper this is the Taste."
2001 : "Makes the World Taste Better." "Dr Pepper you make the world taste better."
2002 : "Be You."
