Hmmmmmm.......

2 questions on my mind:

1. Do you suppose the "caco" in "cacodemon" came from the chemical symbol for calcium carbonate?

2. Did it get the names for the last 2 levels of Inferno from Dante's Inferno?

Never heard of that use of "caco" before, I figure it was from "cacophony", which is like "extremely loud noise", or "cacophonous" (used more often for really noisy stuff).

According to Funk & Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary...

caco- : Bad; Vile. [<Greek, Kakos>]


and for the 2nd question: I'm not sure but I know a few master levels were named after Dante's Inferno

People in the thread say it's 'ugly'. I know of a translation 'stinking'. Not sure which one's correct; maybe both.

2. Did it get the names for the last 2 levels of Inferno from Dante's Inferno?

Yes.

...or maybe you'll just open a fucking dictionary.


Christ, ask a simple question and I get flamed! So what's new?

That's just typical deadnail-ness. You'll get used to it after a while :P.

A Cacodemon is a different type of demon, more vulgar or some shit. Thats all you'll get out of a dictionary... so you whip a damn encyclopedia at my ass for the full monty.

BTW, 'read a fucking dictionary' is not flaming, 'pull that dictionary you've been fucking your mom with out of her mouth and fucking read it you cumquat' would be. Big dif.
