Today I learned...

There are numerous manufacturers who sell hearing aids. Part of their job is to make people with a hearing loss want to buy their product, e.g. fun hearing aid colors, intriguing names, etc. Well, today I realized that one company stands out as far as creative name giving goes. First of all, their company name is Siemens. Okay, fine. I'll give them some credit; maybe it's the founder's last name or something. They probably didn't have any control over it. BUT! Second of all, out of all the other titles they could have given to one of their programs, they decided that the "Wiener filter" was the best fit! Yep, both pronounced like the male anatomy parts! I don't even want to know what the marketing crew was smoking when they came up with that one!
