Why "North Central Positronics"?

It is the question nobody has asked. But, it is my style to answer such unspoken inquiries. So hold on to your shiny, metal asses.

The name comes from an entity within a book series written by Stephen King, known as "the Dark Tower". Lazily, I will use wikipedia to explain further:

North Central Positronics is a company specializing in the production of robots. It is owned by the Sombra Corporation and was a part of The Imperium thousands of years prior to the beginning of the events of The Dark Tower Series.

The addition of the word "positronics" by Stephen King is likely a reference to Isaac Asimov. Asimov's famous robots had positronic brains."

This collection is considered by King to be his magnum opus. I have gone through the series twice on audiobook and can attest to its greatness. For further details, cross your fingers and hope the movie(s) based on the books is/are going to start hitting theaters early 2017. Then our clan will be famous! No... Not really.
