What Would You Like Named After You?

I’d like someone to discover a metal called ‘borudium’. It would be highly conductive, not particularly malleable, and the boiling point would decrease with the age of the sample.

Where I used to work, there is a type of tools that are referred to by my last name, as I was the one who designed them and got them built. They work great, if I say so myself. Kind of like "Crescent Wrench", but they aren't wrenches. Proprietary, so I can't go into details.

Don't tell, let us guess.
Um.............. SNAP ON!

That dry part of the asphalt around parked car during light rain - name that after me.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The first version had a locking pin, which was a complete PITA, so I replaced that design with a spring-loaded version (they actually did snap on) when a space program actually ponied up some money for a set. They got a dozen, in 4 different sizes.
As an aside, the Fireball family has issues with consuming black pepper and the resulting gaseous effluent. When my eldest son was at Tech School in the Air Force, when he ate beef jerky he would gas out the dorm. This came to be called "Fireballing", assuming that our last name is "Fireball". True story!
