Yup, that city is know as Irem, Iram, Aram, Ubar, Wabar, Omanum Emporium, Civitas Iboritae and so on. It is the Koran's Sodom and Gomorrah. T.E. Lawrence called it the Atlantis of Arabia.

Maybe google knows more.

I don't think you can respond. That post is either genius-level poetry (no matter how disturbed) or the most ridiculous post I've ever read. Kind of like Lovecraft's work. He would be proud, Intergamer. I'm personally both impressed and perturbed. Dichotomy, dichotomy...you display quite an extensive knowledge of Hebrew. Care to elaborate or will you just keep us guessing?

I can tell you that as a serious published poet (trained by English professors at CalStateSanBernardino) it is nothing of the sort.

lol, you guys don't know googlism?

you type something in, and it searches google for any relevant information...then it looks for connections and displays it, telling you about something

try typing your name (don't use quotes though)...if there's enough on the web about you, it might know something

it has some basic parsing abilities too

so..when IndyBeck said, "maybe google knows more" - i went to find what google knows.

try it yourself

I did purposely order it poetically, though, I admit

now, I must ask: you <i>do</i> know <a href=www.googlefight.com>Google Fight</a>, don't you? On that site, you can type in two phrases/names/words, and it checks google for hits on that phrase - the one with the most hits on google wins!

I see what you mean. I found out that I'm the hottest musical act to hit the internet, a realtor in Auburn, and a li'l helper bee. That made my brain hurt.
