First name: Jules
Surname: Stoop (Pronounced like 'stow', with a 'p' added on the end, which is sort of a common name in the Netherlands and Belgium. A 'stoop' is vessel for holding 2,5 liters of beer or wine, but nobody uses the word any more nowadays. The beer and wine still flow richly though )

I just use my real name about anywhere on the internet. Years back, when I was younger and more idealistic, it was a conscious choice and part of resolving sort of an identity crises. A friend of mine had committed suicide and part of the personal circumstances leading do his tragedy, was him leading several parallel lives which in the end led to him loosing touch with himself. So I decided to always be myself and part of that was to always use my 'real' name.

Nowadays I realise I'm not him, but I stuck to the habit.

A black hole is where god divided by zero.
