Lance Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 This isn't rocket science. Archimedes made a discovery. He exclaimed, "Eureka," which means, roughly, "I've got it." Some computer programmers made a similar connection when they made the word "Eureka" synonymous with the character "exclamation point." In other words, think outside the box...though in this case, I don't think you have get too abstract. We see concepts conveyed through symbols all the time. For instance, in comic strips, we sometimes see a "!" and nothing more in one of those big bubble things that denotes discovery, or surprise, or wow, all of which are, that's right, exclamations.

Jeez ... you're taking this all way too seriously. If you don't think that a corps giving their show a title that is simply a punctuation mark, and then telling people that "!" means "eureka" is both pretentious and a cause for amusement, then you'd better be on the lookout for a new sense of humor. :D Remember when "Politically Incorrect" would give out their "get over yourself" award, in the shape of Prince's name-glyph? With the exclamation point, SCV crossed the line from "abstract" to "gimme a break." IMHO, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchinalong8 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I like to imagine Brick from Anchorman going "LOUD NOISES!!!" That would be an interesting intro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
