I'm sorry, I have to ask this.

Do you guys get paid (or are part of a bet) when you make
suggestions like these, or do you just do it for, as a friend
tells me, "shits and giggles"?

OT: Or rename x86 to LEG, and watch all the others turn into

but at least it doesn't sound too crazy. Just a bit whacko :)
