The funny thing is that "Linux" is already a pun on "Unix", which is itself a pun on "eunuchs" — I guess that given enough puns things will always eventually return to orchiectomy.

Edit: Naturally turns out that somebody else commented this without me noticing :nyoron:

Huge missed opportunity is apparent in the "no women allowed" line. Instead it should have read that all the users and developers will eventually be women if they aren't already.

Erika I'm thinking of submitting this as an emoji request, I couldn't find one with the nyoron text but not sure if that's an issue?

When I suggested :nyoron: as an emoji two years ago the picture I used didn't have text, either. Hopefully your suggestion will actually get added!
