We had a visitor from Norway at work for about a year...when some of our equipment was mis-behaving, she mentioned that in Norway, they name things, and then they have something to call it while trying to get it to function. I subsequently named our 3730xl DNA analyzer Roxanne, because when she malfunctions, there's a red light that comes on. I don't think it has helped. Over the past two weeks, we have had problems every day.
Meanwhile, my truck finally has a name. All it took was a day with Tina.
That's all.
