[edit] Name Revisited
While commenting on the classical-linguistic shortcomings of an astronomy professor (specifically on Scorpio vs. Scorpius) with a Latin colleague, he mentioned that the original Latin would have been "Capricornu", which struck me as odd (as Latin has perhaps 2 words that end in -u, one of which is cornu) until it dawned on me to separate them into two words: capri cornu, or "the horn of the goat". Now, I feel that it would be significant to at least mention if not analyze this etymology in the article. 69.168.161.140 01:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Idiotic alternate view
The perfectly ahistorical alternate view moronically tries to depict a goat! Then why, in any imaginable supernatural being's name, isn't the name of Capricornus Capra? Capricornus is not a goat! It's a goat-fish from mythology, with the fore part from a goat and the hind part a fish. These alternate views doesn't belong to wikipedia - they seems to much like original research.
