Well most people don't ask but seeing you did I will tell you, (see below) I changed the spelling around on a web based translation site till I got Belezeebub which loosely translated to Lord of Files (an inside joke seeing I am a Network administrator)

My Friends call me TDO (I even have a badge with that name TDO=The Digital Overlord

Also known as Beelzebuth, Belzebuth, Baalzebub, Ba'al-zebub (and known as Achor by the Cyreneans), which probably meant 'Lord of the High House', referring to the Canaanite chief god 'Baal the prince'. This title could only properly apply to Solomon in his temple, so the Jews changed the name to Beelzebub which translates as 'Lord of Flies', probably because of his supposedly role as creator and controller of the flies in the Philistine city of Ekron

BTW I've been meaning to ask this for sometime, what does "belezeebub" mean? It is very close to "Beelzebub" which of course was one of the fallen angels in Paradise Lost, and is also a term used for Satan and other evil spirits. Just wondered if there was a connection <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
