The entries in the GnuCash screenshot are pretty amusing (so are one or two of the entries in the KMyMoney screenshot). Too bad the descriptions got truncated with the window being too small, though; it really made me wonder the location you had in mind for the "Money I found on the..." with the amount of $10000. Thanks for the laugh, Jon. ;-)

The entries in the other programs' screenshots are quite funny, too. I laughed out loud myself when I saw a transaction titled "Jeff Merkey - settlement", for example...

Thanks for pointing that out. I wouldn't have bothered with the screen shots otherwise. Even without the technical content, my LWN subscription would be money well spent ;-D
