Yes, it seems you have exhausted all the possibilities concerning your choice of one of the names in your fantasy life there, Bob (provided we discount the possibilities that you looked up "King" in an English-Tiv dictionary, or asked someone who speaks Tiv, or happened upon the information by chance).

Seriously, which of the three possibilities do you choose, or do you have another possibility (by the way, how do you suppose somebody would stumble upon that information by chance?).

No. And you're not a prophet either. It must be frightening to think you are.

This is an easy one...

4) You're not an authority on anything.

(P.S. You just seem needy of grandeur and attention.)

I've told you before, Bob, people come up with all kinds of fascinating and improbable things... and this is because: 1) It's ALL connected, and 2) Nothing means anything more than anything else. We MAKE IT mean something. We connect the dots how we want to. NO BIG DEAL. IT'S ALL CONNECTED and people make fantastic connections ALL THE TIME which mean nothing more than anything else. GOT IT? You're drunk on your dots! Get over it. Move on. Connect in new ways!

There are three possible conclusions: 1) I just made that up since nobody will bother to check it out, 2) indeed, I'm an authority on thousands of African languages, or 3) it's another example of my divine guidance.

4) You are a fucking moron.

In Cornish Tor is the name of a hill, and you are the fool on that hill.

Tivi speakers live no where near the cradle of humanity.

Afraid to address the issue, huh?

What issue?

Let's see, the Tiv language is spoken in Nigeria, Nigeria is in Africa, and Africa is called the cradle of mankind. Have I broken it down far enough for you?

Apparently, the issue of your ability to think.

And Africa is a Continent.
I know Americans are ignorant of basic geography. But this factoid is meaningless.
You might as well be talking about Mexico City as Cincinnati, because they are both in America.
Tor is also a French surname and a Nordic first name; a genus of fish, a Celtic Hill and a place in Ukraine.

And you are still a moron.
