Why Dust?

Why did I chose Dust as my name? There are a few points on here I like, some I don't, but it was Number 11 that swayed me.

Cited from Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.0.1)
Dust, Pronounced [duhst] – noun

1. Earth or other matter in fine, dry particles.
2. A cloud of finely powdered earth or other matter in the air.
3. Any finely powdered substance, as sawdust.
4. The ground; the earth's surface.
5. The substance to which something, as the dead human body, is ultimately reduced by disintegration or decay; earthly remains.
6. British: a) Ashes, Refuse, Etc. b) Junk1 (def.1).
7. A low or humble condition.
8. Anything Worthless.
9. Disturbance; Turmoil.
10. Gold Dust.
11. The mortal body of a human being.
12. A single particle or grain.

There were a lot more than 12 examples, but these were the important ones in my mind.

Have a good one.
