A fuzzball is a gateway, or IP router, (running on PDP11s, I think) which
Dave Mills authored.  They are common, because the software is in the
public domain, and they seem to have many desirable characteristics,
particularly for tinkerers.

A bogon is a particle (alias packet) that transmits bogosity.  I guess it is
also a happy accident that it rhymes with Vogon, because the bogus info is
frequently offensive and/or destructive.

Gong?  I dunno.
