Danger Library?

When I initially bought this domain, I was many years away from having children. I thought it would be a great idea to enable my kids to say "Danger is my middle name" and have it be literally true. But, being a very forward-thinking teen, I figured I'd also want some way to get them to study. I envisioned snapping back, "so is 'Library' - finish your homework."

For better or worse, I did not succeed in convincing my wife to allow me to follow through on this plan, but the domain persists.
