Misleading thread subjects are dangerous to monitors and keyboards. Almost spit my coffee :-DD |

Our factory in Korea used to buy parts from the 'Do One Ohm Resistor Company'. I kid you not! Edit: and of course LG is short for 'Lucky Goldstar' |
| SeanB:
Inside old Goldstar TV sets you often found a sticker which said " Lucky HIPS". Prosaically it refers to the parent company of Goldstar and LG - Lucky manufacturing Co, and indicated the casing is made from high impact polystyrene plastic. |

Korean Companies are actually very superstitious about good luck (I guess we all are actually :) ). Such things as company names and the ubiquitous wooden pendulum clock in reception. Another example: Sam sung translates as 'Three stars' |

On many invoices (fiscal documents) from Farnell here in brazil, when you bought almost any OpAmp (analogic IC) they came as "XYZ CI ANAL" (CI is portuguese equivalent to IC)... Possibily something about character numbers, but it happened several times... Always made me think all possible jokes... Unfortunatelly Farnell is closing here... |
