Eli Lilly, who now makes Prozac, used to make aircraft propellers. Businesses go through some strange transformations.

edit: nah, don't bother... just it's been a while since I looked at assembly

He could write it in Japanese and still I wouldn't understand it.

Poor guy probably got depressed just making aircraft propellers. It gets old after a while, so then he found Prozac!

in that case, i don't know if i want to know where pfizer came in to play with viagra!

Gritt is an unknown quantity at this point

But that's not all

All the buttons in the new Mazda 3 are a Panasonic design, they ALL have the same click behind them also our air conditioner compressor in Mazda is Panasonic as well as the user interface for the audio system if you click on the "about software". I'm not sure I would be too worried as my mom's clock radio from the really 70s lasted into the 90s and the microwave oven lasted 27 years, our Panasonic tv outlasted it's usable life so I'm not sure this is really a bad thing. Do you think we're doomed?
