Appearently, Zope is male. Not only that, but there must be other

Zopes

running around out there. First person to find one wins a cigar!

Isn't the internet fun. Here some references on the name: The name Zope seems to have orginated with the Inca's: http://www.fairacre.demon.co.uk/Americas/South-Central/Inca.htm And yes, it is a name for a boy. It mentiones the fact that many Inca names live on as surnames. The name Zope seems to be quite common in India. The Indian Express has an article on a convention for disabled, and mentions one Yadav D. Zope: http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/19981205/33950034.html The University of Pune (India) has a research associate working in their Department of Physics, named Rajendra R. Zope: http://physics.unipune.ernet.in/~raj/ Several URL's mention a Chemistry researcher named U.R. Zope: http://www.chem.unt.edu/faculty/research/apmres.htm and http://wwitch.unl.edu/phd/pubs.html http://www.sial.com/aldrich/acta/acta28_4/polyref.htm http://www.chem.rice.edu/~arb/Bott_Pub.html ... etc. The animal kingdom also uses the name Zope: The King Buzzard (Sarcoramphus Papa, Central America) is locally also known as 'Rey Zope': http://mercado.infosel.com/dumac/revista/ipag03.htm A species of fresh water fish is also named Zope: http://www.fishbase.org/database/ScientificName_Detail.cfm?ID=6374 In the US it is also known as the blue bream. Not a very remarkable fish, if you ask me. I have yet to find someone with Zope as a first name though. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-6254545 Fax: +31-35-6254555 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
