    I immidiately think of Maiden and start bobbing my head to 'Flight if Icarus'. I think I'd do the same thing if I saw it on a business.

    The moral of the story is to rely on physics, not religion.

    If the business was an airline, I would take the train.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...    iscariot

    100% of people here definitely know who Icarus is?

    Maybe poll should read: I definitely know who Icarus is because I just wiki'd it.

    Jesus fucking Christ - everything comes back to this for you, doesn't it? I'll bet when somebiody brings in their dog and all the fur has fallen off it's tail the first thing you ask them is if they believe in God.

    Plus - it's mythology, not religion (I know - they're one in the same). Zeus ceased to be a god a few thousand years ago. Welcome to the 21st Century.

    Now if you'll excuse me I've gotta go sacrifice to Baal Hammon.

    Icarus Flight Systems.

    Yeah, that'll work.

    I don't know why you give a fuck what I post, but it is cool I have my own stalker.

    Edit: btw- god ceased to be a god when reason surpassed faith and superstition as a way to understand the world with the Enlightenment. Welcome to the 17th century.

    On a side note, the wife and I saw "Prometheus Bound" at the A.R.T. in Cambridge last week and it was really, really good. Check it out if you have a chance!

    Dude, based on how often he still(!) posts immediately after I do, I'm pretty sure he's still my stalker. I'm his original, and apparently eternal stalking subject. He's all mine...

    Icarus immediately brings to mind someone who was a bit to full of themselves. I would be curious as to why this would be a desirable business name.

    One of the better restaurants in the south end of Boston was called Icarus. It lasted over thirty years before going OOB last summer:

    I knew of the story because of school and not smoking quite enough to not remember shit. After that It's all Maiden baby....the first half of the first solo (Dave Murray part) gives me chills every single time.
