I remember an episode where Mork and Mindy had a egg (sort of). Did it have a name? Was that when Mork was coming to the end of his bleemage years and had to smash a gleek (egg) onto his head to survive the experience, Feel free to correct me if i am on the wrong planet with that one :) ID: 1043362 ·

It was the donations of a lot of setizens involved, and Mark did get to pick the previous name (with our support). Regardless of who was shaking the coffee can, this was definately a group effort.

I offered two suggestions, no one saluted. (Grover.. keeping to a sesame street theme for a bit) or Johnny Five(Johnny Five is alive! robot). So.. the masses will decide.

First off, since Mork has been such a hard and valued worker though these many years... Jocelyn was the master BOINC database server until the end of August 2009, she's been recalled for an encore performance. While the nearly 14 months of service that mork provided are valuable, jocelyn has filled the role for much more time. I think it's time for another feminine name anyhow. Joe ID: 1043409 ·

Here are a few other suggestions: Jansky - in honour of Karl Guthe Jansky who was the first to successfully use radio waves to identify an astronomical radio source. Atlas - the Titan from Greek mythology condemned to hold up the heavens on his shoulders. Drake - in honour of Frank Drake, the author of the Drake Equation. ID: 1043411 ·
