You know, it's been *so* long since I had a rummage through the kernel, or
anything like it. Years ago, there was this huge mainframe comms subsystem
which I had to do some source amendments to, and it was renown for having
comments invoking demons, vampires and dire threats against anyone who made
a change without fully understanding the implications. There was more than
one Christian who refused to even look at the source.. I remember finding it
the funniest thing imaginable at the time.  Talk about non-PC.
