"I wear goggles when you are not here" is a mis-heard song lyric from the Macy Gray song "I Try".

Actual lyrics: My world crumbles when you are not here.

Whatever they are they're oddly poetic:

   * The Endless Forms More Beautiful
   * Pray for Toaster
   * The Fall of Disorder

Like ship names in the Culture!

That, or math rock song titles.

They immediately put me in mind of Marathon level titles, but it turns out the first is also the name of an operatic metal album.

I assume these are release codenames? I see "Thumb Tacks and Bailing Wire" before this...

Clever names, but without context it's sort of confusing.

What's updog?

Oh, nothing much. You?

;)

Is this the most awesome version naming scheme ever? Or just something odd...

Are these jokes?

Reference to "Macy Gray - I Try" perhaps?

The google seems to think so.

Though it instantly gives an idea for a sci-fi short story.
