If you wonder about the name, then here is an explanation:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=assassin
as·sas·sin
n.
1. One who murders by surprise attack, especially one who carries out
a plot to kill a prominent person.
2. Assassin A member of a secret order of Muslims who terrorized and
killed Christian Crusaders and others.
[French, from Medieval Latin assassinus, from Arabic hassasin, pl. of
hassas, hashish user, from hasis, hashish. See hashish.]
Word History: At first glance, one would be hard-pressed to find a
link between pleasure and the acts of assassins. Such was not the case,
however, with those who gave us the word assassin. They were members of
a secret Islamic order originating in the 11th century who believed it
was a religious duty to harass and murder their enemies. The most
important members of the order were those who actually did the killing.
Having been promised paradise in return for dying in action, the killers,
it is said, were made to yearn for paradise by being given a life of
pleasure that included the use of hashish. From this came the name for
the secret order as a whole, hassasin, "hashish users." After passing
through French or Italian, the word came into English and is recorded in
1603 with reference to the Muslim Assassins.
And as you know my name is finnish for assassin and no, this has
nothing to do with sympathies or some such non-sense to the current
events or hashish users for that matter.
Now, I will go get some beers in the local bar and will begin the update
process planning tomorrow.

SO IF YOU WANNA USE THIS BITCH WYSIWYG crap, then don't disable the
options for images, if I copy something from another page it's not my fault
your stupid board thinks it's a fucking image. STOP USING WYSIWYG crap
and this problem will go away, WYSIWYG is shit anyway.
