So, I’ve been doing a lot of research into logging & dispatching recently for one of the volunteer organizations that I’m a lead in. In the course of this, I came across this on http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq73-1.htm

Deck logs are not “Captain’s Logs”

A deck log is not a daily diary written by the ship’s captain. The “captain’s log” was a dramatic device used by the creators of the televison series Star Trek to introduce each episode, and does not exist in the U.S. Navy.

People must have been asking. This is strangely hilarious

“hors d’oeuvres funroll-loops” is my new favorite meaningless expression. it sounds completely meaningless, but came up today with regards to a technical problems I’m working on. It’s just ludicrously fun to say, although probably not as funny as ‘boss’ or ‘grody.’

Also, on the subject of hilarity, check out these references to auderves in google.

Suprisingly, –funroll-loops isn’t the funniest sounding of the gcc options, –malign-double is. Just in case you’re having deus ex machina problems and need to specify your program has an evil twin.
