I love the JERKER desk that I bought 26 years ago, so I assume this rule must be younger than that.

Perhaps even the source of that rule.

		Pax is another one that violates the rule that someone pointed out lower. Also Malm is a surname which is another violation of the rule (one of the characters in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was named, if I recall correctly, Stefan Malm). I remember reading the books with my then-wife and she said it was like reading an IKEA catalog. I thought she was referring to the character/place names, but it turned out that the second book had a long section where the titular girl furnishes an apartment from IKEA and—that chapter was exactly like reading an IKEA catalog.

An excellent desk, by the way. I still have mine (the old heavy duty model)!

You know the saying... a "Do not step on the grass" sign only shows up after people start frequently stepping on the grass...
