In "the Hacker's Dictionary" it says about the word FOO:

	"A hacker avoids using 'foo' as the real name of anything.
	Indeed, a standard convention is that any file with 'foo'
	in its name is temporary and can be deleted on sight."

Was this a clue to the fate of Lisa Foo?
Half baked brains are like a fallen souffle.
I maintain that the story is a crock.

BTW, when I was in grade school I thought of a Frob as a little medallion
that construction workers wore from their belt showing a picture of something
like a backhoe or bulldozer.
