good pun or am i just reading too much into it?

Look at the top. Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System (GLaDOS for people who don't already know.)

[Sulkdodds]

Considering the company's history, it totally figures that GLaDOS started as some hairbrained idea for an engine de-icer.

I wonder if the FSII (the only other mentioned Aperture project in Portal aside from the Portal Gun, BTW) has anything to do with (Episode 2 spoilers)the Borealis?

[msleeper]

Good thinking, Kato. That might be what we'll get in Ep 3 (or Ep 2, haven't finished it yet).

Should also be noted that "ice" commonly stands for "In Case of Emergency", but that doesn't really seem to fit in.

Hehe. I couldn't read that very well in-game due to bad texture settings but how the hell did GLaDOS go from Fuel System Icing Inhibitor to being in charge of the Enrichment Centre? :laugh:

[Sulkdodds]

Trust Aperture Science to come up with a self-aware homicidal fuel additive.

[riomhaire]

The portal gun probably started as an advanced type of shower curtain :laugh:
