*giggles*
I swear I've seen something about siemens hehe here before, what is it? I just saw a van this morning that had siemens *snickers*and they do like "Makers of electronics and equipment for a range on industries, including: information and communication, automation and control, power, transportation, medical, and lighting." Is it the same company?
Yes I've searched the internet and (hence my lovely quotish defination) thats all I found.

    It's an urban legend.

    It's also not pronounced how it looks. It is pronounced zee-men-s.

    Sorry to spoil a crappy joke, but the company is called Zeemens, not semen.

    Well I've not seen her for a good couple of years so it would be bit out of the blue if I just turned up at my old work to do that.

    Plus the fact that she was generally a nice person (except when on the Hay-nah-ken high horse)

    I must admit if I was German, I'd pronounce it that way, too.
