| Subject: Dylan possibly inspired by Olympic park bombing? Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:50 pm | |
| I was reading the wiki for Columbine again and I found this (I havent read the Wikipedia article in years so some stuff was changed since the last time I read it):
"In Spring 1998, Harris's father caught him with a pipe bomb, and went out with him to the mountains to detonate it.[67] Klebold scared his coworkers by once bringing a pipe bomb into work.[10] After the massacre, six pipe bombs had been left in Klebold's bedroom, and two in Harris's.[63] They would give names to their pipe bombs. One left in Klebold's room was called "Atlanta",[68] presumably after the Olympic Park bombing." |

More correctly E&D got the names from DOOM ,which borrowed from Greek mythology. | |

| It's possible, but Phobos is the moon of Mars where Doom takes place and nothing about Doom has to do with Atlanta. The other pipe bomb in Dylan's room was "vengeance", which has nothing to do with Greek mythology. Peltro and Pazzi were two others, which are Italian terms, not Greek. Only Pholus was from Greek mythology. Every source I've ever seen says they think Atlanta was from the Olympic Park bombing. | |
