Small riddle

Anyone know what my current user title means?

Luminary 1A v099

Can you answer without googling it?

Re: Small riddle

Oh gosh, its been there for days, and now he's begging us to ask...

I don't know. I just assumed
  1. You *are* a luminary, its obvious (that's better than being an phosphorescent orb: sorry Orb!)
  2. Like the rest of us you're a geek, so you have to have a version number
The "1A" threw me off: I don't put letters in version numbers....

Its gotta be amusing if you're asking, but now I'm satisfied to just sit here and watch and be surprised rather than Googling...

Giggling,
Buffy

Re: Small riddle

Boy, that's a tuffy, but I'll throw caution to the wind and make a wild stab at it.


Luminary equals the delivery of photons to a surface
1 equals the word one
A.................maybe the word at
099..............maybe 99% the speed of light

So, if we put all this together:

The presence of one at 99% the speed of light??????????????????????????????????

Re: Small riddle

By the way, when Buffy posts, all your google ads are for Buffy the Vampire slayer merchandise.
