+        <p>
+          No, but we have done numerous taste tests on blindfolded
+          volunteers who have also had 250 micrograms of LSD-25
+          administered beforehand.  35% of the volunteers said that FreeBSD
+          tasted sort of orange, whereas Linux tasted like purple haze.
+          Neither group mentioned any particular variances in temperature
+          that I can remember.  We eventually had to throw the results of
+          this survey out entirely anyway when we found that too many
+          volunteers were wandering out of the room during the tests, thus
+          skewing the results.  I think most of the volunteers are at Apple
+          now, working on their new ``scratch and sniff'' GUI.  It's a
+          funny old business we're in!

+      <sect1><heading>Is there anything "odd" that FreeBSD does when compiling the kernel which would cause the memory to make a scratchy sound? When compiling (and for a brief moment after recognizing the floppy drive upon startup, as well), a strange scratchy sound emanates from what appears to be the memory banks.</heading>
+        <p>
+          Yes!  You'll see frequent references to ``daemons'' in the BSD
+          documentation, and what most people don't know is that this
+          refers to genuine, non-corporeal entities that now possess your
+          computer.  The scratchy sound coming from your memory is actually
+          high-pitched whispering exchanged among the daemons as they best
+          decide how to deal with various system administration tasks.
+ 
+          If the noise gets to you, a good ``<tt>fdisk /mbr</tt>'' from DOS
+          will get rid of them, but don't be surprised if they react
+          adversely and try to stop you.  In fact, if at any point during
+          the exercise you hear the satanic voice of Bill Gates coming from
+          the built-in speaker, take off running and don't ever look back!
+          Freed from the counterbalancing influence of the BSD daemons, the
+          twin demons of DOS and Windows are often able to re-assert total
+          control over your machine to the eternal damnation of your soul.
+          Given a choice, I think I'd prefer to get used to the scratchy
+          noises, myself!
