I used Nero. Is this person I'm supposed to be aware of in the picture named Nero or something?
I'm no lepidopterist, but from context I'd guess that it is indeed Nero.
A much maligned Roman emperor, Nero supposedly (but almost certainly not actually) haughtily played some instrument or the other during the Great Fire of Rome.
Hence, "burning a CD-ROM" is easily associated with him even though the story is almost certainly not true and "ROM" (read only memory) was the suffix of the CDs that COULDN'T be burned ๐คท
Honestly, this was some A-tier wordplay, especially considering that the company who made it is was German.
Absolutely!
Is that last bit a dig at German humour?
I hear it's not a laughing matter.
I thought they studied butterflies?
They do, yes. I'm just doing a variant of the "I'm no geologist but (says things that have nothing to do with geology)" meme ๐
