Santa Clara, CA (Reuters): Sources close to the spiritual leader
of the Linux movement report that Linus Torvalds has entered his 23rd
day of fasting.  The move is apparently not for religious reasons. 
"I've spent so much time looking at vomit-producing code, that Tove
refuses to feed me any more, and gives me Karate chops whenever I even
threaten to blow chunks.  Our carpet cleaning bill exceeds our mortgage. 
Hell, the ISDN subsystem alone turned our favourite Persian rug into a
monstrosity that college students won't even pick up off the street
corner.  With Jeff Dike's memory management code coming up, I thought
I'd best be prepared."
