   You piqued my curiosity - a quick search turned up an article[1] that has some info: "Take the Porsche 911. Its buyers are 86.8% male with the average age of 51 and median income of $390,000." [1] http://www.forbes.com&

    Palantir is from LOTR and Starbucks is from Moby Dick. Unless it's copyrighted (basically every character in Star Wars would be, for instance), I think you should be fine. Ask a lawyer, though!
