[QUOTE="trapeze, post: 1087740, member: 77123"] As long as we are being a stickler for details... The correct name for the raincoat is "[URL="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/macintosh"]mackintosh[/URL]" with the "k" following the "mac" and, yes, it is not capitalized even though it is named after its inventor, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Macintosh"]Charles Macintosh[/URL] (whose name doesn't have a "k" in it...go figure). There's your little bit of nearly useless trivia for the day. Oh, yeah... you left out "Big Mac," the famous (or infamous depending on your point of view) hamburger served by McDonalds. [/QUOTE]
