    For as long as I've been coming here I've been seeing "KOTB" and thinking it was called "Keep on the Borderlands!" as in a directive to stay on the border lands. Not until I saw screenshots recently did I realize that it was in fact "THE keep" as in a smallish kind of a castle located on the borderlands. That makes so much more sense.

    I thought it was funny, anyway.

    Since english it's not my native language, was easy to make that mistake, and also misunderstand some jokes...

    Other Keep on the Borderlands oddities, aside from there being some garage band called 'Keep on the Borderlands:'

    • There is apparently some muslim woman called 'Kotb' who is a proponent of female muslims being sexually liberated. Or something like that. :eek:_O: I've searched 'KotB' and come up with links to her so many times that I'm afraid the US Justice Department is going to suspect me of being linked to Al Quaida! (Between that and my constant searching for information on flight CO 8, I'm a goner for sure.) ;)

    • This shouldn't be news to anyone, but I'm continually struck by the unfortunate naming coincidence of the in-development game 'Borderlands.' Because of this, they hog most of the search hits for 'Keep on the Borderlands.' (Oh! You mean 'Borderlands?' Here - have some 'Borderlands' links!) How nice.

    • There's another one, but I can't think of what it is right now.

    Yeah, I came across that Kotb lady a few times - k-t-b means 'read, book' etc in semitic languages if I am not mistaken. Maybe she should be an NPC in the game. It would have to be written veeeeeeeeeery carefully though ;)
