    You'd think with all the brand names Ern used he'd have given that one a cool name.

    Good thought, Oz! What would YOU name it if you were Mr. Ern?
    Me? I am now stuck on the Jetsons. I would go with "Astro"!

    Just a loose reference to 'Skunkworks' projects, no inside ERN knowledge here - "A skunkworks project is one typically developed by a small and loosely structured group of people who research and develop a project primarily for the sake of radical innovation" - thanks Wikipedia!

    I believe that the term "Skunkworks" was first used for P. Kelly's shop at Lockheed - that developed the U2 and then the SR-71 shortly after that (they keep that secret longer) this was in the 50's for the U2 and the late 50s and early 60s for the SR-71 "Blackbird"...which was way way ahead of its time, I believe that most of its "published" records still stand. The same team that developed the F117 and probably a lot of things we don't want to know....and they used slide rules....
