One of the newer geek memes seems to be coming up with new variants on Chuck Norris Facts:
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
The chief export of Chuck Norris is Pain.
Chuck Norris can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.

etc.  For example, see Bruce Schneier Facts:
There are no finite state machines. There are only a series of states that Bruce Schneier allows to exist.
Bruce Schneier knows the state of Schroedinger's cat.
All infinite sets are countable -- by Bruce Schneier.
In a fight between Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, the winner would be Bruce Schneier.

The latest addition I have found are Richard Stallman Facts, most of which are pretty stupid but some of which entertained me:
Whenever Richard Stallman points at a Windows computer, it segfaults.
Richard Stallman wrote a program that divides by zero.
Richard Stallman's compiler is afraid to report errors.
Richard Stallman doesn't write programs, they write themselves out of reverence.
Richard Stallman can make infinite loops end.
Richard Stallman's first words were actually syscalls.
Richard Stallman gets 9 bits to the byte.
Richard Stallman can tell you if your program will halt.
All your base are belong to Richard Stallman.

But maybe the best one of all, for pure subtlety:
Richard Stallman wrote Emacs.

Sorry, it's another political post.  Feel free to skip it.

Earlier this month I wrote that I would be okay with pretty much any of the Democratic candidates as the party nominee.  But it turns out that's not really the case. )
