Re: this.

How does the Marian Institute for Scientific and Technological Research and Advanced Learning sound? Makes a nifty acronym - MISTRAL.

That's the name of a certain type of icy wind isn't it?

Yep, a cold, northern wind. It's a French thing.

How odd! In the Mage: the Ascension game I ran set in 1890s Boston, the characters' patron belonged to a private club called "Salon du Mistral," which was based on an actual restaurant of that name in Boston which was right next door to my job at the time. Very weird. :)

If you ever want to expand on that connection, we'll talk. :-)

Thought so. I was going to name a frost giant NPC after it.

Sounds spiffy!

Mistral

Isn't that a D&D goddess?

Or is that the point?

What I want to know is, as a lawyer, how many times did you type that as MISTRIAL?

[logam.livejournal.com]

Exactly what I was thinking!

Suprisingly, not at all - but I did notice the similarity when I said it out loud.
