Well for all of you 24 fans who thought of me here's Teradyne's statement on a recent episode:
There was a very familiar company name used in Monday night's FOX TV series 24
It sounded just like Teradyne. CTU Agent Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutherland) was chasing his usual array of bad guys...this time rebels intent on using stolen nerve gas on Russia...when this dialogue occurred:
"Chloe calls Jack with what she uncovered on the chip. A company called Terra-Dyne has acquired raw strontium isotope, which is used to make the Sentox gas. The company is a subsidiary of Omicron. Jack recognizes the name Omicron and asks Chloe to find out whether someone named Christopher Henderson is a senior executive there..."
Notice the different spelling and hyphen, but when it's spoken, it sure sounds like a company we all know and love. Of course, we're not in the "raw strontium isotop" or nerve gas business, but it did create a mini-buzz among Teradyne employees who watch the show. The Boston Herald even did a story about it in today's editions.
Here's the Boston Herald Article.

AND if my place of employment has a "raw strontium isotop" or nerve gas business, then I'm just really screwed.
Of course if I hear on TV that my place of employment is into "raw strontium isotop" or nerve gas business, then I'll really have a good reason to work from home more often :).
