From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Ken Thompson
  
      The principal inventor of the {Unix} {operating
      system} and author of the {B} language, the predecessor of
      {C}.
  
      In the early days Ken used to hand-cut {Unix} distribution
      tapes, often with a note that read "Love, ken".   Old-timers
      still use his first name (sometimes uncapitalised, because
      it's a login name and mail address) in third-person reference;
      it is widely understood (on {Usenet} in particular) that
      without a last name "Ken" refers only to Ken Thompson.
      Similarly, Dennis without last name means {Dennis Ritchie}
      (and he is often known as dmr).
  
      Ken was first hired to work on the {Multics} project, which
      was a huge production with many people working on it.   Multics
      was supposed to support hundreds of on-line logins but could
      barely handle three.
  
      In 1969, when Bell Labs withdrew from the project, Ken got fed
      up with Multics and went off to write his own operating
      system.   People said "well, if zillions of people wrote
      Multics, then an OS written by one guy must be Unix!".   There
      was some joking about eunichs as well.
  
      Ken's wife Bonnie and son Corey (then 18 months old) went to
      visit family in San Diego.   Ken spent one week each on the
      {kernel}, {file system}, etc., and finished UNIX in one month
      along with developing {SPACEWAR} (or was it "Space Travel"?).
  
      See also {back door}, {brute force}, {demigod}, {wumpus}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kneading-trough
      the vessel in which the dough, after being mixed and leavened,
      was left to swell or ferment (Ex. 8:3; 12:34; Deut. 28:5, 7).
      The dough in the vessels at the time of the Exodus was still
      unleavened, because the people were compelled to withdraw in
      haste.
