Which is a key component of Rockwell International's "Turbo Encabulator".

It all makes perfect sense (classical mechanics).

Well Pete, you got me. I googled Chlomondelly's grillage and got more good info. 'Next time you're in my neighborhood we can go to Chlomon's Delli and Grille. My CCPU may sound smoother after that.
