How come? / Curly Brackets FAQ

I wish I was asked this more often:

How come you call yourself Curly Brackets?
Well it was like this: One fine day I was reading on the net something on programming in Perl. And there it said - right at the beginning that you have to put certain things in curly brackets. I had not heard these characters called curly brackets before, I thought they were just called braces, see. Merriam Webster doesn't know curly brackets, but they know braces and give these senses:

to fasten tightly
to prepare for use by making taut
(brace) yourself for the shock
to turn (a sail yard) by means of a brace
to furnish or support with a brace (heavily braced against the wind)
to make stronger
to put or plant firmly
to waylay especially with demands or questions
to take heart -- used with up
to get ready (as for an attack)

Curly Brackets, hm... how pleasing to the ear! I liked this. A name was born. A nickname was registred in places. A domain name was registred. Et voilà.
Curly Brackets.
On top of all these senses that I also apply to curly brackets there is one additional advantage to this name, you know: You cannot tell whether I am a male or a female, so I get you a bit fazed, too.
