Who knew this would be in the man pages... humor!

From the man page of resize2fs command, a pearl:
Note: when kilobytes is used above, I mean real, power-of-2 kilobytes, (i.e., 1024 bytes), which some politically correct folks insist should
be the stupid-sounding ``kibibytes''. The same holds true for
megabytes, also sometimes known as ``mebibytes'', or gigabytes, as the
amazingly silly ``gibibytes''. Makes you want to gibber, doesn't it?
Oh man, not only gibber, laughing hard... icon_lol.gif

    My favourite is still RFC 1925 (12 networking truths), especially Truth #3.
    Truth #3: With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead.
