Is Yoni really a woman?

iago is totally the villain from Othello.  Could it be any other way?!?

To me, iago is completely the bird from Aladdin. Never read/saw/heard Othello.

MyndFyre, I saw that movie in 2000 and it was great! I also recommend it.

Same here.

Incidentally, Othello is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's works.  As far as video versions of it, I say the one with Laurence Fishburne as Othello is really awesome.

[edit]One of the modern-day versions of this movie, called "O," is fantastic.  You can find it on Amazon here.  I recommend this move wholeheartedly (and it links to the '95 Fishburne one).  It is an amazingly similar plot with an entirely different setting, and the actors do a great job of keeping it together. 

Seen em both and read the play. Yar othello is the shit. It is way better then pansy macbeth.

So iago, if you ever get a bitch box or something would it's name be Rodrigo? Incidiently, my second box's name is Djali since this one is Quasimodo.

No, I don't have any kind of naming themes.  My 266mhz server is "Darkside", my laptop is "Slayer", my steel laptop is "Tank", and my old desktop is "Ron" (that's before I started naming stuff)

yoni is a proper and frequent jewish name for MALES.

[Yoni]

yoni
    (yonn'-ee) n. a representation of the external female genitals, regarded as the symbol of Shakti. adj. yonic. (this would be the opposite of phallic, presumably)

You're about the 58th person to point this out

Wikipedia says:

Yoni is also a nickname for the hebrew name Yonatan (which when translated to english is Jonathan)

I assume his name is Yonatan.

I think you're right.  I wish I could remember where I saw it.

*correction* aha!  http://www.valhallalegends.com/yoni/yoni.asp

My real name is Yehonatan Rozenshein, but practically everybody calls me Yoni.

But I think that Yehonatan is relatively similar to what you wrote, Hitmen, perhaps a minor dialectical distinction?  I'm no expert, but I've picked up a COUPLE things from Bible study.

Where's the expert?

(Side-note: that page seems sooooo innocent.... not like the Yoni I know )

"Yonatan" and "Yehonatan" are very similar (in Hebrew, "Yehonatan" has 1 extra letter, not 2). "Yehonatan" is an extra syllable, which is more work, so nobody actually says that name. People write "Yehonatan" and pronounce it "Yonatan".
I like "Yoni" because it's badasser.

"Yehonatan" is Jonathan's name in the original Hebrew version of the bible.

Btw, it's apparently a common geek thing. In my boot camp, there were about 5 Yehonatans/Yonatans, and they all preferred to be called Yoni. It was amusing.

As for the page "yoni.asp", I am well aware that it is extremely:
- Outdated
- Lame
- Lame
I keep delaying the rewrite. It may never happen. Or it may happen soon. Wait and see.

"Yehonatan" is Jonathan's name in the original Hebrew version of the bible.

So "Yoni" is to "Yehonatan" as "John" is to "Jonathan".

I like Yoni more than John.
