Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 bG, you were thinking about the name previously and thinking that Wire and Battery would be an optional name rather than Godzilla or Apprentice Godzilla, or whatever. With thinking about translation problems, it occurred to me that one possibility might be to call it the GermKiller like the name of the group. Like, have the whole family called GermKiller, the Wrist Germkiller, the 6v GermKiller, the Glove GermKiller, the PaintBrush GermKiller, etc. It's the same length and rhythm as Godzilla, which has entered the community vocabulary, and Godzilla is probably going to stick anyway as an identifier. " I'll try the GermKiller. " " The what? Why not use Godzilla? " " Same thing, mate. New name. " " That's OK then, you'll be fine.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 WHOA!!!! Be very careful of saying Germ Killer. The FDA will jump on you in a heart beat, fine you and can confiscate your property. They(?) have a cadre of people watching the Internet for what they call " non-approved " " cures " . Look at the Jaguar Industries and see what is happening to him. Same for the SOTA machines. I had an on-line business (1999) selling NatureceuticalsT and was turned off quickly. I spent many dollars promoting my website via paying for recognition on the search engines. First I had to put the traditional disclaimer and then my website gradually disappeared from the search engines where I told how the formula I used 'cured' my enlarged prostrate problem within days without any side effects. I went from several hundred hits a day to just a few. Love Bob Adageyudi Staya Udanvti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 One problem I have with my wife and family and friends - It's too easy! Just hook up a battery to wire and put it where? No way, that sounds stupid! Regardless of the results, they just can't grasp it. My kids are a different matter, they will try anything I ask them to. My 13 year old is beating acne with CS. If he gets a real big red one, he shocks it with a 9 volt square battery. It works great! I may be breaking the barrier with the wife - the other day she woke up with an earache. I asked her to let me put a few drops of CS in her ear and see what happened. Couldn't beleive it when she said " o.k. " . Within 1 hour the earache was gone and did not return. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Please have your son use a 6 volt battery, as I understand it there's a possibility a 9 volts battery could interfere with heart function. I know bg constantly admonishes to not use 9 volt batteries. Jack Re: Wire and Battery - the name One problem I have with my wife and family and friends - It's too easy!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Bob, I feel likewise. They are so morally bankrupt that even when they are not able of regulating the pharmaceutical and food companies they are supposed to, they keep on harrasing the samll fry. In the meantime important if not vital applications of Nanotechnology to biological sciences is not going anywhere becuase those idiots do not have anyone to check on the sub,issions. Do you imagine that? an government agency dragging progress? On the heels of the biggest criminal indictement of having aided and abeted the release of Vioox, a killer of 60,000 people, they spend their time in their mickey mouse adventures.Miserable and pathetic behavior if you ask me. Nevertheless, I find that one of the most powerful sttements we can make when we advertise our natural products is to say " As you know, the FDA does not allow us to use the word cure " I use this statement for inmstance as a header in the flyers I send to wholesalers and store owners. It immediatly calls to their attention the insinuation that my product does cure but I can't say it. On the other hand I am complying explicitly with their request of not mention it as a claim.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Seriously, you won't get anywhere marketing that. People LIKE catchy names, or crazy names. They don't want something they can actually make sense of. Sad but true. How about bG's BAW (battery and wire). Lol No, we really need to come up with some good name, that doesn't cross the FDA's huge lines of right and wrong, and isn't as confusing as Godzilla because there's other types of Godzillas out there. I was confused at first when I started researching Godzilla.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 The name of the group is, " " . If you are afraid they won't allow germ killer you might need to change the name of the group. Maybe to " microelectricitydevices " , or gadgets. And instead of Godzilla, just say Ziller. Ziller Gloves, Ziller Mask, Ziller Electrodes, etc. If the name is not a problem, it is perfectly descriptive, and says it all. Homeopaths say " Remedies " instead of medicines or drugs. And " Relieves " is a safer word than " Cures " . Dick Re: Wire and Battery - the name Battery Butt Kicker hmmm would go like this: " My 6 volt battery kicks butt.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Dick, that's exactly correct, tells it. But...when I talk it up I notice people get excited then they really strain to remember and have to write it down, etc. BatteryButtKicker is that easier than ? I'm not sure. Battery what? It does what? kills germs. ok, germkiller. lots of things do that, why are we different? we use electricity. Electricity? Like the power company? No, a tiny current, millionths of an ampere. microelectricity. . Those were my thoughts when creating that name. Microsoft was also a weird name at first. It is accurate to describe software for microcomputers, which is what MS makes. I think people appreciate simplicity and ease of use up to a point. But people like to have learned something new intellectually. Humans are surprisingly intellectual. The computer revolution is an intellectual mastery of a thought-extending device. It's like learning to use a telescope, a sewing machine, or drive a car. Part of it is the skill you gain, part the work it does for you. Annoying as MS software can be, once you do get it, you feel a sense of understanding and skill, because your confusions usually stem from the product having an engineering surface still exposed to the user. If you can master that, you will have gained something of a skill or ability in the mastery of a powerful new tool..quite aside from whatever it was you were trying to get the computer to do in the first place. bG > > > > Battery But Kicker? :-) > > > > Samala > > > > -------Original Message------- > > Battery-and-wire is about the best I can come up with...it's > accurate, > > Non-assertive, and instructive to the potential users. > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.408 / Virus Database: 268.13.2/472 - Release Date: 10/11/2006 > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 You know, when I still tell people about this list I write micro electric germ killer. For some reason, in my mind, electric seems to go with micro and not electricity. I send them to search , using electric, and they write back saying " no such list exists, can you send me a direct link " . Then I remember it's ELECTRICITY not electric.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Ziller might be more acceptable to the wider world community. There could be cultural barriers to coarser terms in many places, including in the First World. Ziller already exists as an accepted term; when I first heard about it in an understandable way it was through Duncan Crow, either in a post somewhere or on his site, referring to " zilling " . When elsewhere I had read someone saying they had built a Godzilla it meant absolutely nothing to me. Sounded like some complicated device I could never aspire to. The name Godzilla could also raise cultural questions or concerns. But Ziller and zilling is inoffensive, lends itself to serious minded discussion and experimentation, and is just a " name " as opposed to a descriptor. Butt Kicker might be a US phrase familiar in places exposed to US vocabulary, but is not an international term and doesn't really say what it does; it's jargon or slang more than language. It could conjure up pictures of men in camouflage and helmets with backpacks, which from the point of view of combatting germs might be appropriate but is a bit localised to one culture. It might raise unnecessary visions of violence that many communities have had quite enough of already. If GermKiller is off the list, I would go with Ziller and zilling.
