... a big bag of guns ...

Am I the only one that feels an increasing disconnection with society as I advance through middle age? I really feel we are handing the world over to the scum, and there's no diplomatic way back.

Brain Teaser


Here's a brain teaser I came up with:

Mike works for the marketing department of a software company.
His job is to come up with names for new products, and he has devised a formula for doing so.

For example, when the company developed a new Payroll System, Mike named it 'Ps'. When they announced their Customer Relationship Management and Bug Tracking Management System products, Mike named them 'Chromi' and 'Bratanmiksie' respectively.

The company is about to announce their new Online Payment Processing Gateway. What will Mike name it?
