Panic!
Wikipedia's servers appear to be down. Accordingly, I don't know anything at all. This is scary.

Actually, I wanted to check whether Paracelsus was an alchemist and what the name he used for himself before Paracelsus was (and how you spelled it).

Hard at work me, oh yes!

And there was me thinking you wanted to know of upcoming gigs tangentially associated with your subject line... ;)

It was a good guess :)

I did go to the Scala's website to see what you were on about - I didn't even know there was a band called that!

Got no idea what their music is like, my work promote their tours regularly enough for me to recognise the name.

Their music is very fine. There are an awful lot of them in the band, not sure how the Scala's stage will cope.

I was thinking it was more "I speak English. I learn it from a boooooook." but my pop culture references seem to be 10 years older than everyone else's, minimum. :D

His "real" name was Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, if my feeble memory cells are any guide.

Wikipedia tells me he was born Phillip von Hohenheim. Later, he used the name Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, which was what I was looking to check before posting it on someone else's LJ :)

I think I've seen his name cited in the version you use, too, so possibly he rearranged his forenames at will or added a new one every few years.

Surely you should know this. He was one of our characters.

I don't remember much detail about the manner of his name changes :)

Also, I wanted to check the spelling and reassure myself that we hadn't added an extra few names in to make it more stupid. But no, it was that stupid to start with.

Phillip eh? You can see why he changed it, that wouldn't have had much cred at the weekly meetings of the Alchemists' Club. "Some call me... Phillip."
