From http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/index.html:

   Many folks have asked about the BSD daemon's name. Contrary to a myth
   first started by some advertising droid at Walnut Creek, the daemon's
   name is NOT Chuck. He is very proud of the fact that he does not have
   a name, he is just the BSD daemon. If you insist on a name, call him
   beastie.
