[V8] $30 for THIS?! - Friction Pads Worth More by Weightthan Gold

[Korn, Bob]

We make some cool stuff.  Our explosion vents are found on industrial
equipment around the world, possibly even in one of the vendors that
supply parts to Audi. (Audi Content) 

When I was a sales engineer I worked on a lot of aerospace and defense
parts. We have parts on the shuttle, (NO O-RINGS), minuteman missile and
the latest Starwars missiles, just to name a few.  

We have a dedicated group of engineers that work in an old rock quarry
and all they do is blow things up.  Talk about a fun job, well, there is
the weeks and months of data analysis................

That sounds like an interesting job, especially in context
with DaveM's venting about the cost of a little part. :)
