I've been a longtime fan of Blade Runner, and in that movie near the end, Rutger Hauer makes a famous speech in which he mentions the "Tannhauser Gate". The "Tannhauser Gate" may be fictional, but in a sense, it is actually metaphoric in meaning for "achieving the impossible through long struggle". the reason for this meaning is the 19th Century German Folk tale of the Knight Tannhauser who became obsessed with Venus and labored long into the dark underworld of earth to find her and worship her in her lair. Life for me is a sense of long struggle and sometimes I've reached my impossible goals. Thus my screename reflects the metaphor: "gatesoftanhauser"

Mine is a reference to Don Corleone's feared hitman in the Godfather and my favorite number.
