This story has next to nothing to do with search, but Google is definitely part of it, and given that Th!nk is a Norwegian car, I thought I should tell you the story.

But you do know that the name, 'Think' can be traced back to the greek verb, gnossis, to know, and that there was a 3rd century heretical group called the Gnostics in southeastern Europe and far western Asia. In the 1980's, after centuries of underground activity, it tried resurfacing in Eastern Europe as the Eugo (European Gnostics) which quickly got mis-translated by intelligence operatives from the Vatican and western national agencies on a cooperative mission, as 'Yugo'. To express themselves and to infiltrate communities and strategic neighborhoods around the globe, they also designed a vehicle out of scrap metal from soda cans and old lawn mower engines. Of course, the engineering inspiration for the Eugo vehicle was all designed from concepts and secrets originating from the original Gnostics and passed down through the generations in private, hidden ceremony. These concepts all involved one specific aspect, but applied in various ingenious ways. The result was the vehicle. The aspect? It was cylindrical motion...also called sphinn!

(So there is your connection between DS and Goolge's big wig, owner of one of the original Thinks.)

This is a very important observation. It should also be noted that the gnostics had a very close connection to the alchemists who worked on the transubstantiation of dark matter (materia nigra), which is in essence what the new Th!nk engine is all about.

And what about the fact that the company is replacing the I with a ! ? Is that a coincidence? Nah, I don't think so. It is clearly a reference to the Sumerian fertility god Mardu, who...

Shit. I lost the thread there...
