This is totally off topic, but I find it immensely amusing that "wingo", which is one inverted character away from "mingo" (aka. Ingo Molnar), commented on Rick van Rein's RTOS, where "Rick van Rein" is a very short edit distance from Rik van Riel...

For a brief second I wondered if I was in a parallel universe. ;-)

(Not to take away from anyone's identities or accomplishments by confusing them with each other. I just found it an amusing set of parallels.)
