Jonas/Jonah definition

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Hi all,

Not sure if this has been posted before; I couldn't find it in the archives.

Check out the third definition of Jonah (from which Jonas is derived) as given below:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Jonah
Jonah
	A male given name </wiki/given_name>. 
	(Biblical) A book of the Old Testament </wiki/Old_Testament> and the Hebrew </wiki/Hebrew> Tanakh </wiki/Tanakh>. 
	(nautical, slang </wiki/Appendix:Glossary>) A person who brings a ship bad </wiki/bad> luck </wiki/luck>. 
	(slang </wiki/Appendix:Glossary>, by extension of the nautical sense) Any person or object which is deemed to cause bad luck; a jinx </wiki/jinx>.

I wonder if crash landing a space ship after centuries adrift in time and space could be considered bad enough luck to qualify!
