Life with UNIX a Guide for Everyone:    Don Libes and Sandy Ressler    Prentice-Hall, 1989    ISBN 0-13-536657-7          The authors of this book set out to tell you all the things about    Unix that tutorials and technical books won't.   The result is gossipy,    funny, opinionated, downright weird in spots, and invaluable.   Along    the way they expose you to enough of Unix's history, folklore and humor    to qualify as a first-class source for these things.   Because so much    of today's hackerdom is involved with Unix, this in turn illuminates    many of its in-jokes and preoccupations.

lobotomy n.   1. What a hacker subjected to formal management    training is said to have undergone.   At IBM and elsewhere this term    is used by both hackers and low-level management; the latter    doubtless intend it as a joke.   2. The act of removing the processor    from a microcomputer in order to replace or upgrade it.   Some very    cheap {clone} systems are sold in `lobotomized' form -- everything    but the brain.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Left hand       among the Hebrews, denoted the north (Job 23:9; Gen. 14:15), the       face of the person being supposed to be toward the east.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Left-handed       (Judg. 3:15; 20:16), one unable to use the right hand skilfully,       and who therefore uses the left; and also one who uses the left       as well as the right, ambidexter. Such a condition of the hands       is due to physical causes. This quality was common apparently in       the tribe of Benjamin.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Leviathan       a transliterated Hebrew word (livyathan), meaning "twisted,"       "coiled." In Job 3:8, Revised Version, and marg. of Authorized       Version, it denotes the dragon which, according to Eastern       tradition, is an enemy of light; in 41:1 the crocodile is meant;       in Ps. 104:26 it "denotes any large animal that moves by       writhing or wriggling the body, the whale, the monsters of the       deep." This word is also used figuratively for a cruel enemy, as       some think "the Egyptian host, crushed by the divine power, and       cast on the shores of the Red Sea" (Ps. 74:14). As used in Isa.       27:1, "leviathan the piercing [R.V. 'swift'] serpent, even       leviathan that crooked [R.V. marg. 'winding'] serpent," the word       may probably denote the two empires, the Assyrian and the       Babylonian.
