I've been waiting on the absurd metaphors to come out ;).  I think
my favorite of all time (granted it's not really a metaphor, but
nonetheless) is something about sacrificing a goat over the computer
to get vi to work.  I'll have to go through the archives at some
point to find that little gem.

From my (ancient) signature quotes file:

SCSI is not magic. There are fundamental technical reasons why it is
necessary to sacrifice a young goat to your SCSI every chain now and then. (John Woods)

A witty saying proves nothing.                               (Voltaire)
