[net.misc] Cute Site Names

I see that the sitename of Johns Hopkins Hospital is 'osiris',
the Egyptian god of the dead who himself lived after death.

Pretty heavy for a hospital, don't you think?

It's a touch odd to hear this from someone who hails from the Blue
Mouse Trailer Resort in Hellmouth, California (isn't that located about
10 miles south of Furnace Creek, California?  I understand the golf
course is a lot of fun)...

My brother (hi, Todd!) is a graduate student in oncology at JHU and has
all kinds of pleasant stories to tell about mutagenic substances...
Leads one to wonder whether the chief clinicians there have the heads of
birds, or jackals.  If someone tells me JHU Hospital is in the land of
the Dead, I won't argue.  (How do you draw a cartouche in ASCII?)

Speaking of cute names... I wanted to form a acronym out of the words:

		Perkin-Elmer Network Information Systems

I decided on pesnta (P-E Santa Clara) instead.
