Duff's device          The most dramatic use yet seen of {fall through} in {C},       invented by Tom Duff when he was at Lucasfilm.   Trying to       {bum} all the instructions he could out of an inner loop that       copied data serially onto an output port, he decided to unroll       it.   He then realised that the unrolled version could be       implemented by *interlacing* the structures of a switch and a       loop:             register n = (count + 7) / 8;         /* count > 0 assumed */             switch (count % 8)          {          case 0:            do {   *to = *from++;          case 7:                     *to = *from++;          case 6:                     *to = *from++;          case 5:                     *to = *from++;          case 4:                     *to = *from++;          case 3:                     *to = *from++;          case 2:                     *to = *from++;          case 1:                     *to = *from++;                                        } while (--n > 0);          }          Shocking though it appears to all who encounter it for the       first time, the device is actually perfectly valid, legal C.       C's default {fall through} in case statements has long been       its most controversial single feature; Duff observed that       "This code forms some sort of argument in that debate, but I'm       not sure whether it's for or against."          [For maximal obscurity, the outermost pair of braces above       could be actually be removed - {GLS}]          [{Jargon File}]          (2001-06-22)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dove's dung       (2 Kings 6:25) has been generally understood literally. There       are instances in history of the dung of pigeons being actually       used as food during a famine. Compare also the language of       Rabshakeh to the Jews (2 Kings 18:27; Isa. 36:12). This name,       however, is applied by the Arabs to different vegetable       substances, and there is room for the opinion of those who think       that some such substance is here referred to, as, e.g., the       seeds of a kind of millet, or a very inferior kind of pulse, or       the root of the ornithogalum, i.e., bird-milk, the       star-of-Bethlehem.
