  The gene was named by Robert Riddle, a postdoctoral fellow at the Tabin Lab, after his wife Betsy Wilder came home with a magazine containing an advert for the first game in the series, Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)

    To all the young engineers here, this is one of those things that seems really funny and a great idea at the time, but lasts way past the joke being funny.

    If you name your services Megatron or aragorn then be ready for business and executives to use those names for 10+ years. The joke is officially dead when you force someone 3 layers above you to demand “why did Galactica go down over the weekend, who is responsible?!”. Be thoughtful in your naming.

      This is entirely subjective. I would giggle every time.

      On the contrary, that’s the best thing that could possibly happen.

      We have high power compute machines at my workplace for environmental modelling, named Motherbrain and Daughter after the environmental control computers from Phantasy Star 4. I am entirely to blame and I have no regrets. The only downside is when a younger engineer finds out and asks me if nudge wink maybe it’s a Metroid reference. :P

  That one is fun because it’s so fundamental that everyone that takes developmental biology in college gets you read about it
