LOL: Was Linux forged in Mordor?: "But what happened to the One Operating System? At the end of the
Second Age, it disappeared following the climatic battle where IBM
threw down Sperry Rand, Burroughs, Honeywell, Univac, Control Data and
the others. A lone coder, pursued by a shrieking mob of grey-suited
accountants, tossed the last remaining tape of the source code into the
Charles River. Moments later he was captured, strangled with a
polyester necktie and buried face down, nine-edge first."
