Skunk Works 

"An insane asylum disguised as an aircraft factory"
-Lazerpig
Not wanting to task all their proven engineers to pursue an experimental jet fighter project during the manufacturing boom of WW2, Lockheed basically went on the prowl to find aircraft engineers of questionable sanity, stick them in a circus tent, painted a cartoon logo, told them to crack on with it, and called the outfit Skunk Works.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
