From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   happily adv.   Of software, used to emphasize that a program is
   unaware of some important fact about its environment, either because
   it has been fooled into believing a lie, or because it doesn't care.
   The sense of `happy' here is not that of elation, but rather that
   of blissful ignorance.   "The program continues to run, happily
   unaware that its output is going to /dev/null."   Also used to
   suggest that a program or device would really rather be doing
   something destructive, and is being given an opportunity to do so.
   "If you enter an O here instead of a zero, the program will happily
   erase all your data." Neverheless, use of this term implies a
   basically benign attitude towards the program: It didn't mean any
   harm, it was just eager to do its job. We'd like to be angry at it
   but we shouldn't, we should try to understand it instead. The
   adjective "cheerfully" is often used in exactly the same way.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Havilah
      the sand region. (1.) A land mentioned in Gen. 2:11 rich in gold
      and bdellium and onyx stone. The question as to the locality of
      this region has given rise to a great diversity of opinion. It
