Oedipus

A character in two tragdies by Sophocles, "Oedipus Rex" and "Oedipus at Colonus." When he was born it was prophesized that Oedipus would grow to murder his father, and marry his mother. His father, King Laios of Thebes, ordered his shepard to kill him, but instead he gave him to the king of Corinth. When he grew up, he learned about his destiny, but belived that his Corintian parrents were his biological parrents, he fled to Tebes. There he ran into his real fother on the road, and after a dispute killed him. However, Oedipus was able to save the city of Tebes from sphynx and was offered his mother's hand in marrige. The play "Oedipus Rex" takes place a number of years after that incodent. Thebes is undergoing a plague Oedipus learns the truth about his heritige, and so his mother/wife kills herself, and he blinds himself, and is baneshed from Thebes. In "Oedipus at Colonus" he is about to die, and is purifing himself, to be buried as a Greek hero. However, civil war has broken out in Thebes between is two sons, and they want to try and get Oedipus' body back to Thebes, so that one of the sons might win.

Oedipus is the ultimate tragic hero. All others, such as Hamelt, or Romeo, don't hold a candle to him.

M1

The standard issue rifle for the United States miliatry during World War II. It came in two models, the wildy distributed M1 Garand, and teh M1 Carbine. The M1 Garand had a clip of 8 shots, but the magazine could not be reloded unless it was completly spent.

I decided to play MOH Spearhead toady, and I also used the M1 as my main gun.

guy next door

A guy known for his kind, sensitive, caring personality rather than his good looks and charm. Usually a bit of a geek or nerd, the guy next door is the guy who is a really good friend to girls, but who never gets a romantic relationship with said "girl friends". Usually is very shy and reserved.

1. He's kind of the guy next door; he's a great friend, but I just can't picture something happening with us.

2. Me.

UFO

Unidentified Flying Object. Has evolved from a simple military classification to a word synonomous with aliens, Roswell, conspiracy theories, and general paranormal nuts.

It's a UFO! Oh, wait, it's an airplane. Or a pie plate. Or a crazy person.
