In the English speaking world, if someone was named after Homer's character, Ulysses was going to be it, I'm pretty sure. Not that I personally knew anyone, it must have been rare. James Joyce's book used Ulysses for sure I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

In fact there is no container anywhere that can do so except temporarily unless there is active super-refrigeration running at the same time the nitrogen that is in the pressure tanks that are used in bars or wherever is still in a gaseous state I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
