: Erm sorry to prolong this one but, I know a guy who's
: using the name Illuminatus on IRC concerning Sacrifice
: ans B&W busines. What does it mean? (imean the name)

It means "The Enlightened One" in Latin. It refers to a member of the Illuminati, a mostly-fictional secret society conspiracy thingie that lies behind the scenes and controls every government and corporation in the world (just like the Rosicrucians or the Freemasons, though the latter would disagree. :-)

If you saw the Tomb Raider movie, they decided to have the Illuminati be the main villains, seeking the standard "Ancient Artifact of Incredible Power" that Lara's always after.
