Does anyone know where the word 'kludge' came from?  About 2 years ago
I checked a few places like Webster's unabridged dictionary without
success, and had forgotten all about it until last week I saw an ad
(in a in-flight magazine on a plane) for a carry-on luggage bag with
all sorts of pockets and zippers called the Kludge (TM) Bag.
