In Response To: Cortana as a sword. (Adam J. Piskel)

: Hi,

: I was wondering if there was any connection between Cortana, the AI, and
: Curtana, the pointless sword (symbolizing mercy) used in the coronation
: ceremonies of old English Kings?

: I know Durandal, from Marathon, is also the name of a sword. Are there other
: instances of AIs named for swords?

I know in the Story page it says somewhere that Cortana is a sword from old Celtic legend.. so that sounds about right. I dunno. As for the other A.I.'s... I dunno, Tycho and Leela don't seem very much like sword names to me. I heard though from somewhere that Cortana(in the game Halo) is going to go insane in the near future, so maybe it only applies to the rampant computers.
