NERDS
acronym got me started. Here's ours :) Actually, the term "Big
Ends" refers to the crankshaft bearing end of the connecting rod
in a typical car engine. The other end of the connecting rod has a small
end and attaches to the piston. How Stuff Works has cute
animated graphics of what we're talking about so check it out. The
other idea behind the name (well, we're complicated kinds of guys) is
the world famous band from
New Zealand - Split Enz. The ENZ is part of kiwi culture.
