Well first of all, technically speaking, there were five Marx Brothers--Groucho,
Chico, Harpo, Zeppo, and Gummo. And when the last sorter comes you could name
it Karl.
Also, there were actually five Stooges as well--Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, and
Joe (I agree the last two have much less stature). And depending on your
politics, you could name the last one Bill, or Newt,... or Karl.
Or you could go for a group of seven and leave out one, such as the Wonders of
the World, Dwarfs, Deadly Sins, Virtues, Planets (the ancient Greek system),
etc.

Hello out there,
The Flow Cytometry Laboratory at Emory University Hospital now has a
FACScan, a FACSCalibur, a FACS Vantage, and two Macintosh
workstations. As soon as construction is finished and all instruments
are moved to their final locations, all five instruments will be
networked. We are looking for names for these nodes and would like to
have something more creative than machine A, machine B, etc.
Therefore, we are soliciting your creative energies for five names
that are somehow related. There were only four Marx brothers, only
three Stooges, and a multitude of two-character partners like Mutt and
Jeff, Tom and Jerry, Heckle and Jeckle, Bonnie and Clyde, etc., etc.
Can anyone think of a group of five?
Oh yes, I should mention that we are getting another sorter in a few
months ... How about a group of six?
Thanks in advance,
Steve Micko, who is a little punchy after a l-o-n-g sort
