Those of you who know your Classical mythology are rolling in the aisles right about now.

Diana, in Roman mythology, is the goddess of the moon. She's the Roman counterpart to the Greek goddess, Artemis. Artemis/Diana was the female hunter goddess, who dallied in the forest with her nymphs, chasing deer, taking baths in streams, and turning human, male hunters (Actaeon, specifically) into deer.

The funny part is that she's famous for being chaste. So you see the humor: a prostitute named after a goddess of chastity.

You've got to admit, that's pretty rich.
