In Response To: Thoughts on Chimera (SPOILERS! STAY AWAY!) (Forrest)

: part, even for those who read this far). Ok, that
: makes more sense. But they completely misused the word
: 'chimera' - it means 'hybrid', not 'illusion'!
: Idiots."

Where are you getting that definition from? "chimera" means illusion, fantasy, unreality, delusion, a fanciful idea, etc. That's what it has always meant. Yes, the Chimera was a mythological monster that was a hybrid of a bunch of different things but "chimera" does not mean "hybrid".
