The Yanks would never put an image of a Brit plane on one of their chips.

Do recall that the Mustang used the same Merlin engine as the Spitfire though.

Hi Heater,
You never know what surprises might occur. Celtic knots, British airplanes.... Have I strayed too far??

How did the Brits ever name a device after raspberry pie? Were they thinking of Eurasian or American raspberries? Do we need to find something that is completely culturally neutral?

I confess... I just like the looks of the Spitfire and its elliptical wing.

Apparently Moebius was a German. And, so was Felix Klien.

We might use Da Vinci's helicopter.. I think it is no longer copyritten. All in good fun.

Here is more 'food for thought'... The Klien Bagel

Well, I thought with the Prop II Parallax might move on from old fashioned propellers to more efficient and performant turbines.

Including changing the name of the chip to "Turbine". Anyone know?

Edit: If you try to eat a Klien Bagel do you mysteriously find that you are inside of it rather than it being inside of you?!

The name Raspberry Pi is obviously a joke based on Cockney rhyming slang. A raspberry is slang for a fart - it comes from "raspberry tart" which is similar to a raspberry pie.

There are some things the world is better off not knowing:)

Now that you mention it, "raspberry" is well known in the US and Canada as well, however it refers to the noise made by placing the tongue between the lips and blowing.

It's used in that sense here, as well.
