I LOVE this one.

Unfortunately it doesn't follow the "is a" algorithm.

How not? Sulphur and Neon are both chemical elements.

"Neon" may not get past legal since it is the name of a car model used by the Chrysler Corporation.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Neon

Trademarks are enforced with industry and uniqueness in mind. I would hope that cars and operating systems are unrelated enough markets to not be a problem. Its also not particularly unique, being the name of an element. But then IANAL.
