User:Pilomotor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On the internet, I often go by the nickname "Eldritch". I'm an American college student, fascinated by both science and the supernatural, although the latter is quite difficult to quantify. As such, I'm an empirical agnostic, and will likely remain so until your god personally insists that I reconsider. If you look up the word "eldritch" on Wikipedia, you'll be redirected to the supernatural page, despite the word "eldritch" not appearing anywhere therein. It basically means strange, or indicative of supernatural influences. My user name refers to the movement of hair, such as when it uselessly stands on end if you're frightened. "Pilomotor" thus has roots in both science (physiology, specifically) and the supernatural (due to hair standing on end often being associated with chilling or ominous occurrences), making it a successful junction of two very different elements.
