It's all fun and games until someone gets sued
Technology Associates, whose Web site is the somewhat unfortunately named techass.com, were some of the first makers of commercial LED flashlights. I reviewed several of their products.
They haven’t come up with anything much new for a while, but their one new-ish product - which has actually been around for more than a year now, but which I only just discovered - was worth waiting for.
It’s got the same control electronics in it as their perfectly good little “Derringer“…
…but it’s got a crank charger.
So they decided to honour one of the world’s premiere cranks by calling it… the GeneRay X1!
I invite you all to submit, in the comments, your suggestions for other products that should be named after a celebrity.
That's one ugly hand. Hasn't this company ever heard of a hand model? :)

The first thing that came to my mind was the "Jeff Wrench". Named for the loony talk-show host Jeff Rense. But I guess it doesn't count. He's not exactly a celebrity. Is he?

Oh, and a question to moetop... Which hand are you talking about? ;-)
