klaatu:
guess it does -
or like some hoofed animal walking a tile floor,
or maybe a hockey-player
practicing slap-shots into a suit of armour,
but it comes from a 1950s science-fiction story
that i thought was really neat.
it's about an alien visitor named Klaatu,
and his robot, named Gort.
i took my name from the robot,
but friends didn't want to address me as a machine,
so they used "klaatu" instead;
when i got mail addressed to "klaatu"
i gave up and went with it.
