Stork...
I always wondered why stork used his ID as stork. He wanted to be called as a bird? The bringer of... babies?? Symbolism of childbirth? But that's only in western culture... It sounds decently nice if pronounced correctly, but it sounds more like "su tok" if pronounced in korean way...

When I found out that he had a twitter (twitter.com/koreasbg), I just had to ask him what stork meant. Here's his response:

Translation: The reason why I use the ID stork is because when I was a student, I stumbled upon the word "stork" while doing homework. On battle.net, I noticed that it was available, so that's why I started using it.

Mystery solved. I guess he just liked the way it spelled or sounded. Makes sense...

I hope you found this informative/interesting/useful!
The end.

Oh yea, I know there is a thread about progamers and their ID, but I felt too lazy to find it and post it there.

Stork probably already brought into the world a lot of babies that won't know who their progamer father is.

Wait a second, when did he went to college in the first place in order to become student and stumble upon Stork?

Yea, I tweeted him in korean.
I first asked him if he ever saw my sign lol (refer to my blog http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=108793)
Then, I asked him if there was a reason why he used "stork" and told him that I really wanted to know as his fan.

Sadly, he never answered if he saw my sign or not... LOL!

Probably in high school, right? I think English is mandatory in South Korean high school. Could be wrong though.
