So how come Britain made a better nuclear bomb than the New World? And

What superior technology? Lucas?

A giant US engineering company, TRW, put its best brains to work to develop
a successful electric power steering system. They spent a long time and many
millions of dollars. In the end they had to go out and buy the technology
from a little British outfit. Guess who that was? It's now the world most
successful electric power steering system.

Now who the hell was it....

Oh, yes. Lucas.


I've never seen an electric power steering system, and never want to
touch anything made by Lucass.
