C'EST LA GUERRE (64)


As I said of what was the council of ministers in summary, first we had to find and put two names, one in general to the whole thing, (like "operation  x") After many names that were taken into consideration ("take away", "fast food", for the intentions of the enemy, only implied and deducted by the superiority by the moment, "money penny" because it sounds good and is inverted, "rock cave", quite obvious, "Sexy Sadie", "putamadre", "last-least", etc..) Finally was chosen the name "Operation ordeal," (in the medieval sense of "Judgement of God" their "Judicium Dei") (1) and we will see the reason later. This name came from the Superiority and it was adopted after the relevant vote.

After though it not was so necessary was discussed to name the creature, ie, the Neanderthal and again was repeated a cascade of proposals which also took his time; unfortunately a top secret theme did not allowed the name might occur spontaneously as often it happens among friends, in the school, work, etc. It became clear that in reality, weren't going to put an "alias" but a name to our no-name specimen (but entirely taxonomized) (2).  Anyway it was considered appropriate to name the creature because it could be of practical usefulness in the future.

Once again were emerging several names such as "charlie1", "devilangel", "ex", "nost" (no space-time), "Pluto", in reference to the strangely missing planet, the more cold and distant planet of our solar system.
This led both tables to a lively chat about CERN and its peculiar way to dictate laws to the science, rather than discovering them, learn them, and show and teach them. As the reader knows CERN has already fallen into our hands. I intervened modestly on his release.

The deliberations continued with "macho" as a word of the language of the country of origin, "thick mat", "metroman" and many more either from our table or from the other.. Our General K.G., Minister of religions in this World, one of the foremost experts on ancient languages​​, he proposed Silvius or Silvanus, like a related name to the forest and the country of Transylvania at the same time. A proposal that was almost winner since it took much time  discuss it and finally to discard it.

Finally beat the name "NEANNIE" also suggested by the Superiority. It was considered the most aseptic and objective of the proposed names as clear reference to the word Neanderthal. Also sounds pretty good.

— All you are invited to the christening... — said someone from our table. There was laughter. Also in the superiority as we could see from the monitor.

(1) I highly recommend the reading of the article "Trial by ordeal" in Wikipedia. In English. Again a wonderful article, documented, perfect. (Let's help wikipedia, it is our´s, and teaches all, but has many enemies lurking)
Moreover all that relates to the topic here, in Spanish is the word "ordalĂ­a" or "Juicio de Dios" in general.

(2) Homo sapiens sapiens. Phylum: chordata. Subphylum: vertebrata. Species: mammalia. Subclass: placentaria. Order: primate. Suborder: Catarrhyne. Family: hominidae. Genus: homo. Species: sapiens. Subspecies: sapiens.
From what I have seen the Neanderthal was not of the catarrhyne suborder and only reaches the genus homo.
