Someone told me that one of the original writers of the UNIX op system was comming back from Canada. When he was going through border, the border guard mistook some oregano that he had as an illegal substance. This is the story I heard, I can't verify if it's true or not. Question: What does the castle in the window mean? Some one told me the reaper in the window is a "kernal hacker". Also what does the "B" stand for on the craked jar in the lower right hand corner? Somebody please let me know.
