There are even a few of us who have a sense of humor!!!
I like your name, Focault's Pendulum ... you cognoscent/templar/mason person, you.HAR!
You have read Name of the Rose?!
If you have, I've my next question answered ... "Which one did you appreciate the most" ...as your chosen name addresses that.
Then again ... who wants a name which invites guesses all of the time?!
