This the Code of Bushido as I learned it. (from a fellow member of Ususal Suspects.net)

One of the biggest reasons I "live" on USN, is that I have found its membership exemplifies the teachings of this code of ethics.

Gi - Right decision based on truth.

Gu - Bravery Cowardice is never an option.

Jin - Benevolence Compassion

Rei - Right Action Courtesy Graciousness Politeness Civility in word and in deed.

- Reishiki Etiquette - It is better to die than be impolite. Be well and always showing proper respect.

Makoto - Sincerity Truth of heart.

Melgo - Humility Glory without ego.

Chugo - Loyalty and devotion to one who will teach you.

In my Austin Powers costume. At your service.

Robert Kennedy once said "Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live."

"The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul," John Calvin

"The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time.” -Frank Miller ...and No, I'm not a noir hero-Migs

General Stats

Name: Miguel Reznicek
Nicknames: Migs
Gender: Male
Sign of the Zodiac: Capricorn:but I don’t believe in that stuff as explained in an episode of The Big Bang theory:

After leaving, Leonard and Sheldon come home only to meet their new neighbor, Penny, a blonde bombshell who Leonard finds very attractive. Leonard asks her over for Thai food, an invitation Sheldon goes along with reluctantly, to learn more about her. She sees Sheldon's white board, where he writes scientific and mathematical formulas, and is very impressed. A jealous Leonard shows her his board, only to get in an argument with Sheldon about whose theories are more plausible. Sheldon is less than impressed with Penny, who first sits in Sheldon's designated seat on the couch and then begins her life story by telling them, "I'm a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know." Sheldon agrees:

"Yes, it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun's apparent position relative to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality."
