Which giant, world straddling pharmaceutical conglomerate do you think is the cutest?

[Tim]

And why?

What were you drinking when you started this one, @Tim?

[Tim]

@annette – uhm, I must have been smacked out of my head on crack, or something.

Are any of them pink or fluffy? That usually equates to (sickeningly) cute in my book. But as far as I can tell, none of them are. (pink, fluffy, or indeed cute.)

Sanofi aventis. ‘Sanofi’ sounds sort of snuggley, and ‘aventis’ is reassuringly futuristic. When we all live on Mars (and I’m supreme ruler) it’s the name I’ll give a city.

@hils – “reassuringly futuristic”! He he! I agree – very important in a name

Although my other half has just pointed out that a city named after an unexceptional toyota might not be that exciting…

@Hils – You’ll be pleased to know that you can name your city after all, the mediocre Toyota is actually an Avensis. I would probably go for Novo Nordisk myself, Maybe not cute, but solidly Scandinavian with overtones of liberalism. I’m not quite sure if I’m ready to run naked in the snow though!

[Tim]

@teloz – I’m not sure the world is ready for you to run naked in the snow Terry…!

[Hairy Gnome]

Well, you certainly wouldn’t want any horses around @Tim, they would be terrified! (Or should that be “terryfied”)

[Cecile]

@teloz: Better cling on to that cap&clothes, otherwise you might come down(er) with a case of pneu(de)gnomia

After sticking on “teddy” to “Bayer”, it outcutes both Novo Nordisk and Sanofi Aventis…and thanks to association with @tim‘s glamorous assistant, it is pink and fluffy too!

[Hairy Gnome]

Okay @ckoei, I give in, you win!
