-*Does anyone seriously believe the writers did ''not'' deliberately name this thing after the real world GPS ''global'' positioning system?
-*Since comics often write ''everything'' in ALL CAPS regardless of what is normally considered correct capitalization, it is possible that GPS actually stands for "galactic positioning system" or "gaLaCTiC pOsiTiOninG sYsTEm".  wHo cAReS?  mY sHouLdERs huRT.
