Then I said to myself: "why not to do something different". I was thinking arround some days and fina- lly this silly article was born. This file was written just to give you some little minutes of rest of MOV EAX, Call SetFilePointer and INTs. Here we will focus our eyes on a very interesting topic: those virus which have relation with music & literature.We, virus writers, knows that a very hard moment is when you have to put a name in your virus (if you haven't done it already). The virus is there, finished, working, infecting and fooling in the RAM, but it wasn't baptized yet, then it won't go to heaven and the stupid AVers will put some silly name to it, like 1906 or some- thing like that. Then, you think, and usually found a good name for the beast. Well, the Literature inspired the names of a lot of viruses. And not only the name, lets read inside the AEMOBA: To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. THE VIRUS 16/3/91 The virus VOID POEM also has a long poem inside it. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ J.R.R. Tolkien is a sudafrican writer who wrote the trilogy "Lord of the Rings". A wonderfull and amazing book that you must read. The following virus are Tolkien-related ones: * Frodo * Frodo Soft * Nazgul * Mordor * Morgul * Gondor * Gandalf * Mithrandir * Gollum * Smeagol * DarkElf * DarkLord * Tolkien ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Other viruses based in some pages and writers of Literature are: MACONDO, the town of the novel "One Hundred years of Solitudde" from Gabriel Garc¡a M rquez, colombian writer, Nobel laureated. QUEVEDO, the better conceptist writer of the Barroque School, spanish genius, a real monster writing. CAMILO, another Nobel laureated, the last giant spanish writer of the century XX. LITERATURA, obvious one. POEM, ¡dem :) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Surelly, there are more, but these are the ones I detected while checking some virus enciclopedias. Another thing that inspired a lot of names is the music.But not only virus names, also nicknames for virus coders. Let's remember Sepultura, Neurobasher and MrSandman. And in the other hand: 242, Metallica, Helloween, Manowar, Cinderella, Anihilator, NKOTB, Iron Maiden, etc. and talking about Iron Maiden, a lot of viruses from Dark Avenger were inspired by this england group's albums. -Where did you get that name, Dark Avenger? -asked Sara Gordon DAV answered: I didn't really "get" the name. I mean, I didn't call myself that. I put those words in the virus and someone else (we both know who) said it was written by the Dark Avenger.He's the one that made me be the Dark Avenger, that name. I didn't use the name until after he called me that. That phra- se itself came from some old song from a long time ago, and not from an Iron Maiden song, like some people have said. In many ways, I suppose you could say he made the Dark Avenger. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Yes, efectivelly, DARK AVENGER is a song from an album from MANOWAR, a heavy metal band. The song is in their first album called "BATTLE HYMNS". And to finish this crazy article more insanelly here you have the lyric of that song. ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ DARK AVENGER (R. Friedman/J. DeMaio) Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä HE BROKE THE LAWS OF THE ELDERS SO THEY BLOCKED OUT HIS EYE, TOOK HIS LAND AND FORTUNE, LEFT HIM TO DIE BOUND ON THE SHORELINE, LEFT FOR THE TIDE, SEIZES LIFE, BLOOD LEAVING...
