I remember when I used to use Matlab, there was a funtion called "Why". It used to spit out these silly answers. It somehow made using Matlab slightly less tedious.
This is just like all the hidden easter eggs in programs written by most programmers. (The built in screen saver in some versions of Word does not count.)

And who said that quantum computers a centurys away?? You can get started on your 386 right now, courtesy of CPAN!
Also, about that eliza chatbot: there is an easier way to get started (you may have seen this in this months linux journal, non?):
$ emacs
esc
shift-X
doctor
And there you go - a psychotherapist built right into your text editor. Perfect for those times when that fscking bug makes you want to give it all up...
Anyway, next time someone complains about MS bloatware being so cheeky that they included a flight sim in a version of Excel, I shall point this out!
