From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Trust \Trust\, n.       1. An equitable right or interest in property distinct from             the legal ownership thereof; a use (as it existed before             the Statute of Uses); also, a property interest held by             one person for the benefit of another. Trusts are active,             or special, express, implied, constructive, etc. In a          {passive trust} the trustee simply has title to the trust             property, while its control and management are in the             beneficiary.          2. A business organization or combination consisting of a             number of firms or corporations operating, and often             united, under an agreement creating a trust (in sense 1),             esp. one formed mainly for the purpose of regulating the             supply and price of commodities, etc.; often,             opprobriously, a combination formed for the purpose of             controlling or monopolizing a trade, industry, or             business, by doing acts in restraint or trade; as, a sugar             trust. A trust may take the form of a corporation or of a             body of persons or corporations acting together by mutual             arrangement, as under a contract or a so-called             gentlemen's agreement. When it consists of corporations it             may be effected by putting a majority of their stock             either in the hands of a board of trustees (whence the             name trust for the combination) or by transferring a             majority to a holding company. The advantages of a trust             are partly due to the economies made possible in carrying             on a large business, as well as the doing away with             competition. In the United States severe statutes against             trusts have been passed by the Federal government and in             many States, with elaborate statutory definitions.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
phase of the moon n.   Used humorously as a random parameter on    which something is said to depend.   Sometimes implies unreliability    of whatever is dependent, or that reliability seems to be dependent    on conditions nobody has been able to determine.   "This feature    depends on having the channel open in mumble mode, having the foo    switch set, and on the phase of the moon."   See also {heisenbug}.          True story: Once upon a time there was a program bug that really    did depend on the phase of the moon.   There was a little subroutine    that had traditionally been used in various programs at MIT to    calculate an approximation to the moon's true phase.   GLS    incorporated this routine into a LISP program that, when it wrote    out a file, would print a timestamp line almost 80 characters long.    Very occasionally the first line of the message would be too long    and would overflow onto the next line, and when the file was later    read back in the program would {barf}.   The length of the first line    depended on both the precise date and time and the length of the    phase specification when the timestamp was printed, and so the bug    literally depended on the phase of the moon!          The first paper edition of the Jargon File (Steele-1983) included    an example of one of the timestamp lines that exhibited this bug,    but the typesetter `corrected' it.   This has since been described as    the phase-of-the-moon-bug bug.          However, beware of assumptions.   A few years ago, engineers of CERN    (European Center for Nuclear Research) were baffled by some errors    in experiments conducted with the LEP particle accelerator.   As the    formidable amount of data generated by such devices is heavily    processed by computers before being seen by humans, many people    suggested the software was somehow sensitive to the phase of the    moon.   A few desperate engineers discovered the truth; the error    turned out to be the result of a tiny change in the geometry of the    27km circumference ring, physically caused by the deformation of the    Earth by the passage of the Moon!   This story has entered physics    folklore as a Newtonian vengeance on particle physics and as an    example of the relevance of the simplest and oldest physical laws to    the most modern science.
