    On this forum know my first name than do in real life. Most people who know me, call me by an abbreviation or bastardization of my surname, amongst a few other names I get called.

      Looking through, I see I had NOT filled out my handle!
      I was a Paratrooper in the Army, but took up free diving (hold your breath and see how long you can stay down) when I got out. I went for my SCUBA cert. about 5 years later, and am now a Dive Master. I still love free diving for abalone (West Coast thing), and warm water SCUBA. As my first name is Ray, you get DiverRay.

        Mine comes from the current condition of my right leg. About 3 years ago now a recycling truck tried to eat my right leg. My boot got stuck in the wheel while going down the road (damn new guys dont know to watch for the bumps with a rider) Long story short The bone broke midway between my knee and ankle and almost severed half my leg. Well after 9 surgeries and countless screws stiches and staples my leg looks like some thing Dr. Frankenstein came up with. My wife said I had a "Freak leg" and I ran with it.

                Hi Wulf,
                my daughter married a guy who legally changed his name to Peter Theodore Wolf. Say it fast? "Peter the adorable wolf"
                And as you might expect from someone who'd do that, he turned out to be a total wanker.
