Lesson: don't trust dem pendulums.

Let me tell you a tale of my own. I was supposed to be the only child in 
the family. Then my grandmother thought that I might become lonely if I 
didn't have some company. (Go figure.)

So my folks decided to have another kid when I was 6. Being a religious kid 
at that point in my life, I prayed a lot to the gods to give me a little 
sister. As usual, the "elders" in the family made their predictions based 
on my mother's complexion, etc. and all were sure it was going to be a 
girl. Heck, when my dad went to UK on one of his  business visits, he 
brought back a whole bunch of girlie clothes.

And well, you probably guessed it already, but the one that popped out was 
a devil of a younger brother, a complete contrast to what I was/am, in 
every damn way. His nickname is "Damager". Guess why. ;)

Them gods let me down. :))

Naming competition! Yay!
