Disappearing Lake
This is for Turlough, of turloughrynne.com and this picture on my wall fame.
Dude, I just came across this. That's pretty cool! How cool would be if your name meant that (although I am, of course, the "gift of the Lord God Yahu").
And then I came across this. "The effect of the frequent flooding in the turloughs is to alter profoundly the character of the vegetation". :-)
Anyone else got an interesting meaning for their given name?

I have to settle for "strong, manly and courageous." Damn those ancient Greeks... :-)

No whuckers dude, nice one for the linkage, and the news story! You should mail the BBC and tell them "yeah, like, that's called a 'Turlough' dudes, nothing amazing really, y'know...?"
Oh and now I'm number 10 in Google for "Disappearing Lake". Cool.
