the next theme, let me know which one(s) you like :) or not.

1. Necronomicron 2 - The renewal.
2. The Missing Round.
3. Nomic's-R-Us.
4. Shangai Nomic.
5. World War Nomic.
6. Second Life Nomic.
7. n0m1c.

Just some ideas to get this though going :)

Thanks, Ouroboros, for ending the stream of hopeless suggestions--I had
been considering a motion to make the next round untitled until you
posted this one. The only catch is that if we go with it, Jef will have
to set the background to white, which could exacerbate eye strain for
anyone working on a difficult proposal or RFJ. I think it's worth it,
though.

Nothing has popped out at me as a great title for the round, though I
would not object to some of the suggestions. "dear Prudence" is a bit
obscure if you're not a Beatle's fan--I had to google it. It is not
required that we have a theme... {Rule 10} states that a round could
be left untitled.

That said, here are some of my own questionable ideas:
16. 9 Lives of Nomicron
17. Battlestar Nomicron
18. The Nomicron Prophesy

Actually, the obscure part of the Beatles title suggestion is the round
number--it refers to the song "Revolution #9" from the Beatles' White
Album.

one could also be a fan of Siouxsie and the Banshees

Of all my silly suggestions, I think that I have the most fondness
for
__Nomicron Number 9 - dear Prudence, won't you come out to play__
but not for the suggestion in it that we make it a round of Beatles
references (amusing, but facile) but rather for the "won't you come
out to play" invitation.

I wouldn't want __Battlestar Nomicron__ might be amusing, although
I've not put the time into the new series. I think, though, that we've
never had a good way to manage and ferret-out secret information.

__The Nomicron Prophesy__ seems to make Robert Ludlum allusions in my
head, even though...

19. Much Ado About Nomicron
could we pull-off a Shakespeare-laden round?

But if we would have that:

I'll play on that suggestion a little:

21. Nomicron - I'm sorry I haven't a Cluedo
22. 221B Nomicron Street
23. Kill Doctor Nomicron

I like this, but I'd be more inclined to support it if it were
