Message-ID: <191@topaz.ARPA> Date: Tue, 8-Jan-85 15:42:00 EST Article-I.D.: topaz.191 Posted: Tue Jan 8 15:42:00 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 12-Jan-85 00:20:56 EST Sender: daemon@topaz.ARPA Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 10 From: vickrey%lite.DEC@decwrl.ARPA Today the term "Nimrod" came up in conversation, and somebody had to ask "What does it *MEAN*?" Well, we all agreed that it means ding-dong, but now we don't know where it comes from. I seem to remember Nimrod as a character in a book or short story; can anybody supply pointers? Susan
