I like the story, but I would like to point out that there is no "Chuck". Quoting 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. But the rest of the story is a good one.
