If I recall correctly, Nimrod was a great warrior in Babylonian mythology...
It is only with modern day that 'Nimrod' has taken on a negative connotation.
I could be wrong, in which case it's all Bush's fault...

Nimrod was a real guy - an Assyrian king named in Genesis. He was known for hunting, but the royalty among the Assyrians were about the only ones in that society who did it. They'd use the army to ring a big area and drive the game into the middle, and then the king would spear a lion or two from a chariot.
That kind of hunting is illegal in all states except Idaho and Texas. ;-)
