You know, these kinds of things keep popping up, and I was thinking about it the other day. As an electrician, I know how to hook these things up. Depending on the type of ballast, you need to hook up a certain number of letters to each ballast. Deciding WHICH letters get hooked up to which ballast is usually a call made by the electrician in the field. And, honestly, if I was that guy, I would totally hook it up so that (inevitably) when a ballast went bad, a word would show up. For instance, this guy obviously wired "AMU" and "TS" to a different ballast than "SEMEN." What we have here, folks, is not a bunch of random occurances...we have a bunch of pervy electricians (or electrical engineers) hooking up the wiring just right...then they just sit back and wait.
