    Neato. That's a pretty common poem, so his username was never really a mystery to many of us. I've seen it in a few different anthologies over the course of high school and college English classes.

    Though I suppose most people are probably dumb and think he took the name from Watchmen, so this thread isn't entirely pointless.

    I'm awesome like that, I say a lot of agreeable things. Well, I do when I'm not being a cunt, at least.

    ... How did you not know what my username was referring to? It's in my sig...

    P.S - Favourite poem.
    "And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.'"
