I have one word to say about NSU: "Wankels".

Those marvelous rotary engines? ;->=

My girlfriend, who is quite mature and even looks a bit matronly,
worked with a bunch of young Brit contract programmers for the
State of Nebraska. She would regularly refer to someone as a
'wanker', shocking them, and causing them to say, 'no, no, you
don't want to say that...' She knew perfectly well what it meant;
her ability to curse could put plenty of sailors to shame. As with
all true ladies, though, you just can't imagine it from her. ;->=
Now, the part I'm having trouble with is: what is 'NSU'? Sounds
like a football team.
