Am I the only person who's noticed that "Sisters of Domina" roughly translates into "The Sorority of Space Dominatrixes"?

Now, is that an unintentional double-entrendre, or did someone notice the Syreen's "Penetrator" ships in Star Control and decide to do them one better? :twisted:

This is the kinkiest game ever... and I like it!

-----

p.s. I must say that I'd like to see some images of the Sisters of Domina... It would certainly increase the game's sex appeal. :D

Yep. But now that you've brought it to my attention, I think it's high time I go make a "donation" to the sistas....

Donating is useless, BTW. If you donate a certain amount (a percentage) of your money, then you get something. Say you have 1 credit. If you donate a credit, boom! Instant powers!(or whatever. Go pray and find out)

By the way, shouldn't that be "Space Dominatrices"?

Nope.

Well... both spellings work, actually.

So sayeth the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (the best dictionary, by the way; buy a copy today!):

As far as I'm aware Domina is coming from latin and translater to something like mother or mistress of the house.
(And that mistress doesn't include any leather or spanking instruments... Down boy!)

You just proved my translation theory for me!

Excellent...

And it's funny, no one mentioned anything about leather or spanking until you brought it up... who has the dirty mind now?
