-i was born in Yerevan

-i hope one day i'll become computer programmer or something of that sort

-i do crazy stuff sometimes

 

anything else that you may want to know before suggesting something, you may ask.

Don't even try to understand what the above means. You will never figure it out! (no one can ... well so far ...)

 

I took your request:

code:
i was born in Yerevan

i hope one day i'll become computer programmer or something of that sort

i like math

i'm friendly

i do crazy stuff sometimes


and ran it through MD5 ... that's the output it provided. I just added "ian" at the end If you want to know what MD5 does, just GO HERE.

Anania Shirakatsi!!!

It fits you to a tee, even the "crazu stuff", he gazed at the stars too.

The Heritage

Mathematics & Astronomy

'Arithmetics' of Anania Shirakatsi, a well - known scholar of the 7th century, stands out among the works on exact sciences. It containstables of the four arithmetical operations and is the oldest preserved complete manuscript on arithmetics. Such works of Shirakatsi, as 'Cosmography', 'On the signs of the Zodiac', 'On the clouds and atmospheric signs', ' On the movemenr of the Sun', 'On the

meteorological phenomena', 'On the Milky Way', etc., are also preserved.

Shirakatsi mentions the principles of chronology of the Egyptians, Jews, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans and Ethiopians, he speaks of the planetary

motion and periodicity of lunar and solar eclipses. Accepting the

roundness of the Earth, Shirakatsi expresses the opinion, that the Sun

illuminates both spheres of the Earth at different times and when it is

night on one half, it is day on the other. He considers the Milky Way 'a

mass of densely distributed and faintly luminous stars'. Shirakatsi agrees

with those scientists, who believed that 'the moon has no natural light and

reflects the light of the Sun'. He explains the solar eclipse as the result of

the Moon's position between the Sun and the Earth. Shirakatsi gives

interesting explanation to the rain, snow, hail, thunder, wind, earthquake

and other natural phenomena.

 

Shirakatsi has also written a number of works on the calendar,

measurement, geography, history. In his book 'Weights and measures'

together with the Armenian system of weights and measures the

corresponding Greek, Jewish, Assyrian and Persian systems are given. It

gives an opportunity to elucidate the sizes of the Eratosthenes' stadium,

an issue in the world science.

 

Among the mathematical works of the 11th century author Hovhannes

Sarkavag 'Polygonal Numbers' is of exceptional interest. Its oldest copy

is preserved at the Matenadaran (manuscript number 4150). It shows, that

the theory of numbers was taught at the Armenian schools. Hovhannes

Sarkavag has also introduced the reform of the Armenian calendar.

 

The problems of cosmography and calendar were also discussed by the

12th century author Nerses Shnorhali in his work 'About the Sky and its

decoration', by the 13th century author Hovhannes Yerzenkatsi Pluz in his

work 'About the heavenly movement', by the 14th century scholar Hakob

Ghrimetsi, by another author of the 14th century, the pupil of Hovhan

Vorotnetsi, Mekhitar in his work 'Khrakhtshanakanner', by the 15th century

scholar Sargis the Philosopher and others.

 

The Armenian mathematicians have translated the best works of the world

mathematical sciences. In the manuscript number 4166, copied in the

12th century, several chapters of 'The Elements of Geometry' by the

famous Greek mathematician Euclid (3rd century BC) have been

preserved in the Armenian translation.

 

Some originals of foreign mathematicians' works are also preserved at the

Matenadaran. Among the Arabic manuscripts, for example, is the 'Kitab al

- Najat' ('The Book of Salvation'), written by famous Avicenna (Abu Ali ibn

- Sina).

With all due respect to grandma, I have always been soooo glad my last name was NOT "Kirakossian". I think any barska-hye would tell you why.

Giragos...even Hagop Baronian has written a small description of someone called Giragos. Here in Brazil they translate it to tye equivalent of Sunday in Portuguese, which may not be a very common name but at least it is not funny .

 

Well, there are a few interesting (not to say funny) first names in name such as Partoghomios. But nothing beats the Soviet realist names...which were already discussed in a thread here.

hahahaha .... actually, I was waiting for you to show up for the same reason

 

Ok, I'll start. Shakira and Kirakosian.

 

Let's just say, these names have a lot more in common with Dr. George's last name than it seems at first. THIS is his website... Dr. K was the guest speaker at some conference once and you can just imagine what I went through when I first heard his name. He is actually quite the expert in "Intelligent systems and fuzzy logic".

 

Can you imagine? Hello, I am Dr K (an never mind)

Is this guy Armenian??

 

Okay, so now that we know what "kir" is, add a Shah (Takavor) to it and see what happens.

 

Sip, your turn to explain "kirakos".

I doubt it. I would guess he is Czechoslovakian based on where he got his Ph.D.

Why do I always seem to end up with the hard ones?

 

Ok let's see... kir and kos are like the Yin and Yang. The 1 and the 0 if you will...

 

Ah I give up! There is just no way to bring any sort of dignity into this. I just hope Movses doesn't choke on his breakfast when he sees this in the morning (LA time) For now, I better run while I can.
