"Iota is the ninth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 10. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Yodh . Letters that arose from Iota include the Roman I and J. It is pronounced yota by modern Greeks." From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iota (it just means "a very small amount").

Yeah, but you still have to tell him all that stuff or it will just sit there and poison you! Doesn't matter he's a scorpion, you have to get the sting/poison out. Be a meercat :-)
