Hehe, the talk about toilet paper was interesting, in my humble
opinion. I mean, you can only talk about linux so much.

I mean, how many people care about the following funny comment and
code found in /usr/src/linux/fs/nfsd/vfs.c (a 2.6.11 linux source
tree):

<quote>
    /* N.B. Why does this call need a get_fs()??
     * Remove the set_fs and watch the fireworks:-) --okir
     */
    
    oldfs = get_fs(); set_fs(KERNEL_DS);
    err = inode->i_op->readlink(dentry, buf, *lenp);
    set_fs(oldfs);
</quot
