Ariadne is an anagram of "Id Arena"

I watched Inception for the first time this weekend.

The name of Ellen Page's character seemed odd to me, and it finally came to me this morning why it struck me so.

Ariadne, the name of architect of the settings in which the dreams take place, is an anagram of "Id Arena".

What is up?

I've been posting on the web elsewhere lately. Here's where I like to comment of late:

Here's a link to something that Oleg Volk (Photographer who has been making excellent propaganda that shames anti-gunners for over a decade now) wrote that nicely sums up the usually unspoken difference between gun people and anti-gun people.

When one insane man in the UK murdered a group of kids in 1987, hundreds of thousands were punished for his sins. British gun owners were deprived of their guns and not given a choice about it. That was collective punishment in its pure form, affecting only people who had no connection to the crime at all.

The fighting hasn’t yet started because, unlike gun control pushers, pro-gun people are not sociopaths.
