Genius indeed. Quite evilOriginally posted by OwlHoot View Post
In a moment of inspiration the solution came to me: Icelandic volcanoes. So they'll be called brennisteinsfjoll, eyjafjallajokull, and the controller theistareykjarbunga.
and the beauty is there are dozens more names to choose from, so they'll never run out.


And there are some funny characters in some of the names, such as Öræfajökull, perfectly designed to bring out the nastiest of bugs
