[OT, Attn: Zhure] Who is "Mabruk?"

[Terraism]

I've wondered for some time at the signature of someone that reads (roughly)

I will remember the words "Mabruk, Mabruk," and repeat them back when avenged.

I don't have the slightest clue who's .sig it is, but... I've been curious for a long while. Then, last night, I forced a friend who had never seen The Last Unicorn to watch the wonderful movie... one I haven't seen since I was like six. It's been a long time - and I was surprised to find that after a couple of minutes I remembered almost everything. Anyway, the experienced wizard serving King Haggard is named "Mabruk." Any connection? If not, care to set my curiousity at rest? Please?

I've been wondering about this too. Can anyone enlighten us?

Maybe this:

"Mabruk! Mabruk! (congratulations)", shouted a crowd of people huddled round the shop window.http://ziggy.dreamland.net/wtc/yahoo.com/egyptians_celebrate_yahoonews.html

Just a google and a guess on my part. Never noticed that phrase before this thread.

Interesting. What is this 'Mabruk' of which you speak?

 

[pontus]

Why don't you ask Zhure. It's his .sig, after all.

 

[A2Z]

Ah. Who is this Zhure that you speak of?

 

[Terraism]

Why don't you ask Zhure. It's his .sig, after all.

Because, like I said, I didn't have a clue whose .sig it was. Now that I know though... I'm editing the heading. Thanks for the heads-up...

Todd Hornblower is correct. Draw your own conclusions. I'd prefer to say no more on the subject lest it becomes political.
