Sometimes you have to be aware of unexpected associations. Our chief
scientist likes the name "Contigua" for our CCM product (contiguous
connection model). But I've hated it from the moment I heard it because I
immediately think Caligula, which is not a connection we want to be making.
(But I'm willing to believe I'm alone in this twisted mind jump.)
