Apparently, someone in an MCSE course was caught playing with another 
OS, and as punishiment, was given the task of finding as many ways as 
possible of saying "BSD is dead" in a sentence. Aside from that and some 
junk numbers, there's nothing in the article.

Isn't it amazing how powerfully the expression "X is dead", repeated 
over and over, plays on the emotions?
