Could someone explain the cooper reference? I've watched that video twice now and don't catch it.

Puck's comment on name origin

 * Puck wonders absent-mindedly whether his name is taken from "the letters, the pillars, the leather, the place, or the mode of behavior."

In an attempt to figure out what things Puck was referring to, according to Wikipedia: --Pentasyllabic 17:09, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * the letters - Searching for "Corinthian letters" turned up Letter to the Corinthians, a redirect to First Epistle to the Corinthians. It's also the origin of the "dark mirror" phrase.
 * the pillars - Probably the Corinthian pillars style.
 * the leather - Now this one's odd. Fine Corinthian leather, a redirect to Chrysler Cordoba, says that "Corinthian leather" was a meaningless term invented for the [advertising] purpose, but the term has come to mean leather with a vinyl surface treatment that requires little care. Then again, I wouldn't put it above Puck to use a nonexistent substance to describe someone who is just a dream.
 * the place - In order of population, there's Corinth, Greece, Corinth, Mississippi, and Corinth, Vermont.
 * the mode of behavior - Nothing on this one.

"Corinthian" behavior is engaging in luxury and licentiousness.

Updating
Just deleted that stupid line (or else he has a brother) and updated with more stuff from Dreaming. Someone wants to make those sentences smoother please do. Will get around to adding stuff about Echo as the Corinthian III when I get a chance. Highlandlord 18:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

"Carries a Swiss Army knife" ?
The infobox currently lists 'carries a Swiss Army knife' as one of the Corinthians abilities. Is this really necessary? Sure, he does have one, but you might as well add 'wears pants' as he does that too. JayDee (talk) 12:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

LGBT article?
Why is this article listed in the scope of WikiProject LGBT Studies? Kalga (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:17, 10 October 2008 (UTC).


 * Apparently the distinction was made at some point that the Corinthian is a gay or bisexual serial killer because of his preference for male victims and what he does to them during or after the murders. Sounds strange, I know. Homoaffectional (talk) 18:09, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
