Long ago, in the BL Era (Before Linux) I administered a particularly 
cranky and overloaded Sun Sparc Something Or Other.

A buddy of mine made me a chicken's foot that I still have twisted from 
some multicolored comm wire.  When we actually got that particular Sun 
to do something extraordinary (like network printing from a DOS 
workstation) we would all do a savage victory dance around the great 
Sparc, brandishing the chicken's foot over our heads.  The company 
owners thought we were nuts, but since we got it to work, they couldn't 
say much......
