From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
shebang /sh*-bang/ n.   The character sequence "#!"   that    frequently begins executable shell scripts under Unix.   Probably    derived from "shell bang" under the influence of American slang "the    whole shebang" (everything, the works).
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
spamhaus spam'hows n.   Pejorative term for an internet service    provider that permits or even encourages {spam} mailings from its    systems.   The plural is `spamhausen'.   There is a web page devoted    to tracking spamhausen (http://combat.uxn.com/spamhaus.html).          The most notorious of the spamhausen was Sanford Wallace's Cyber    Promotions Inc., shut down by a lawsuit on 16 October 1997.   The    anniversary of the shutdown is celebrated on Usenet as Spam Freedom    Day, but lesser imitators of the Spamford still infest various murky    corners of the net.   Since prosecution of spammers became routine    under the junk-fax laws and statues specifically targeting spam,    spamhausen have declined in relative importance; today, hit-and-run    attacks by spammers using {relay rape} and {throwaway account}s on    reputable ISPs seem to account for most of the flow.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
spangle n.   [UK] The singular of {bells and whistles}.   See    also {spungle}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
sponge n.   [Unix] A special case of a {filter} that reads its    entire input before writing any output; the canonical example is a    sort utility.   Unlike most filters, a sponge can conveniently    overwrite the input file with the output data stream.   If a file    system has versioning (as ITS did and VMS does now) the    sponge/filter distinction loses its usefulness, because directing    filter output would just write a new version.   See also {slurp}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
spungle n.   [Durham, UK; portmanteau, {spangle} + bungle] A    {spangle} of no actual usefulness. Example: Roger the Bent Paperclip    in Microsoft Word '98.   A spungle's only virtue is that it looks    pretty, unless you find creeping featurism ugly.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
shebang          (Or "shebang line", "{bang path}")       /sh*-bang'/ (From "{sharp}" and "{bang}") The {magic cookie}       "#!" used in {Unix} to mark the start of a {script}, e.g. a       {shell script} or {Perl script}.          Under {Unix}, if the first two bytes of an {executable} file       are "#!", the {kernel} treats the file as a script rather than       a {machine code} program.   The word following the "!" (i.e.,       everything up to the first {whitespace}) is used as the       {pathname} of the {interpreter}.   For example, if the first       line of an executable is             #!/usr/local/bin/perl          the script will be treated as a {Perl} script and passed as an       argument to /usr/local/bin/perl to be interpreted.   Some       variants of Unix also allow one or more parameters to be       passed to the interpreter, for example, you can write             #!/usr/bin/perl -w          and the script will be started as if you typed             /usr/bin/perl -w          on the command line.   Also, most modern kernels ignore any       whitespace between the "!" and the interpreter pathname.   Even       some modern kernels have fairly small limits (e.g. 32) on the       length of line they will accept, making long pathnames and       arguments somewhat unportable.          [Does anyone call this a "magic string"?]          (1998-05-06)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sabeans       descendants of Seba (Gen. 10:7); Africans (Isa. 43:3). They were       "men of stature," and engaged in merchandise (Isa. 45:14). Their       conversion to the Lord was predicted (Ps. 72:10). This word, in       Ezek. 23:42, should be read, as in the margin of the Authorized       Version, and in the Revised Version, "drunkards." Another tribe,       apparently given to war, is mentioned in Job 1:15.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sponge       occurs only in the narrative of the crucifixion (Matt. 27:48;       Mark 15:36; John 19:29). It is ranked as a zoophyte. It is found       attached to rocks at the bottom of the sea.

Sabeans, captivity; conversion; old age
