Hyperbola is so named because a "Hyperbola" (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hyperbola.html) is a graceful curving shape, and the very similar-looking "Hyperbole" (http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=*&Query=hyperbole) is a very big exaggeration, something that people are prone to do on blogs and forums. Divmod Hyperbola both a blog, and a forum. It is designed to allow you to gracefully express your shameless self-aggrandizement on the internet.
