Nephilim

heh... to celebrate the holidays i'm double posting:)
and yeah, i found a new nick for dotA and other stuff...
it's from the bible... and it's really cool..

Nephilim-(Gen. 6:4; Num. 13:33, R.V.), giants, the Hebrew word left untranslated by the Revisers, the name of one of the Canaanitish tribes. The Revisers have, however, translated the Hebrew gibborim, in Gen. 6:4, "mighty men."

Genesis 6:4
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

Numbers 13:33
We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."

The origination of the Nephilim begins with a story of the fallen angels. Originating in the Book of Enoch {Apocrypha} Shemhazai, an angel of high rank, led a sect of angels in a descent to earth to instruct humans in righteousness. The mission lasted for a few centuries, but soon the soldiers/missionaries/angels became corrupted in their lusting after human females. After lusting, the fallen angels instructed the women in magic and conjuring, mated with them, and produced offspring, who would later be referred to as the Nephilim.

hmm... okay, so maybe the meaning and origin of this name isn't as cool as i thought it'd be..seems like Nephilim are actually the bad guys... but it still sounds nice, so i think i'll stick with it.. besides, i'm not perfect myself anyway, and.. yeah, i think it kinda fits...

if you're interested and have time like i do now.. you can visit http://www.ldolphin.org/nephilim.html for further info on Nephilim:).. but its super long and i didn't bother reading till the end anyway:P
