Actually, there are only two people that have figured out my handle and I didn't have to use code.  Hell, I can and have left a major clue in plain sight and pretty much everyone misses it.  I don't mind because it allows me to figure out who is actually paying attention.

I always assumed it was a reference to the ancient physician.  But then again I don't even attempt to keep up with pop culture.

Wrong but then that is what everyone thinks.  I largely ignore pop culture myself but where I got the name was never really a part of pop culture anyway.

I would say that is probably because if it is a reference to something not in pop culture per se, then history is what most people would look toward (as this forum primarily deals with history).  I wonder though if anyone can guess the meaning behind my own user handle.

Unless of course it is a reference to the Starkiller. But that would only place it's entry into broad culture around 2014.
