Ever heard of Discordeanism?

[Rubberman]

While watching util-linux-ng compiling on Crux, I noticed, among many familiar commands, a command ddate which I'd never heard of. So I did a whatis and found that it was a command for converting Julian dates into Discordian dates. Well, naturally, I had no idea what those were so I went to Wikipedia.

It seems Discordianism is a half-serious fake religion with its own calendar. You can read about it here. Now I have no strong objection to fake religions (they frequently do less harm than some real ones) but what is a thing like that doing in a set of basic linux utilities? Someone at GNU must have a very twisted sense of humour.

Has anyone found any other weird things like this tucked away within Linux?

I know a LOT of Unix/Linux developers who are into Pastafarian... Mostly, they are really good people, but who think traditional religions (vs. traditional music) are bogus!

Re: my previous post

Of course, I also think traditional religions are totally bogus! IMHO, there IS a GOD, he/she just doesn't care what we think...
