Oh that's too damn easy! .. Let me show you how it's done:
"Rule number one: Don't talk about FightClub!"
.... Oh, no.. wait.......
oh, and NightWind.. your signature is wrong. Deus ex machina does not mean "God from man". It means "God from the machine" which is a term from greek theatre (still used today). I do realize that it's a dynamic one, and perhaps you didnt make it yourself, but it's a shame to display something which is not right.

Mister: Sorry about that.
I did kinda make it — I sent in the comments for it.
But what happened was I looked it up on the Deus Ex box inside cover, which listed it as "God from man." Or maybe my memory was bad.
Anyway...fixed.

NightWind > Well, "God from man" is not the direct translation of it, but what the Deus Ex cover might have ment is that indirectly it could be interpreted as the meaning.
Since man created machine, and man uses machine to perform some action in a play(and now in movies) that could only have been done by a god. But then it would be the meaning of the term "deus ex machina" more than it would be the latin translation.
("Deus ex machina" is another Donnie Darko quote btw
)
