This bit of humor from a Slashdot discussion of things Linus Torvalds has merged into the new 2.5.x-series development Linux kernels:
Linus Torvalds Merges Self with Tree!!
CYBERSPACE, USA – In a freak accident at Transmeta World Headquarters this afternoon, famed programmer Linus Torvalds — creator of the Linux operating system kernel — accidentally merged himself into the kernel’s dev tree. When reached for comment, Torvalds seemed only able to respond with “Power overwhelming.”
Alan Cox, another prominent GNU/Linux programmer said he thought the merging — though accidental — was a good thing. “Now that [Linus]is actually in the kernel he can take advantage of Linux’s multitasking and actually handle the work-load that he has. This is a really good thing for the community.” Added Cox, “It’s also pretty [freaking] weird.”
Thank you, “Pedro Picasso.”
