[As told by GHG@ecn.purdue.edu]
In a related incident....many years ago at Purdue there were some students
who thought it would be a good idea to type the bible into the computer.
During the winter break the machine their files were stored on was upgraded
to Version 7.  They were pretty shaken when they came back from vacation and 
found that all of their files were now owned by daemon.
