The morale...

Unix started out its life as a pun on MULTICS, a very serious multiuser time-sharing system that didn't like being made fun of, but then went on to leave its serious rival in the dustbin of history. Unix almost completely dominated the market for scientific workstations and servers before being neatly replaced by a work-alike clone called Linux, which started out as a pun on Unix. The moral of the story? Puns can be powerful things.

Enjoy!!
