Well folks, regarding machine names, there are many excellent names,
but I have to say that the very *best* machine name I ever came across
was "bunbury".  What's the significance of "Bunbury"?  It is from the
Oscar Wilde play, "The Importance of Being Earnest" -- so go read it or
rent the movie! :)

Briefly, though, Bunbury is an entirely fictional character that lives in
the country; any time the main character wants to get out of an
appointment, or avoid a meeting, he explains that he has to go tend to
Bunbury, visit Bunbury, etc.

It makes more sense after seeing the play :).
