This is really getting off-topic. No one seems to care yet, but it's still
worth mentioning.

I really replied to ask if this is actual German (I have a feeling it's not).

        Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja!
        ...Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!

It's Monty Python's worst joke in the world. See

        http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/

There was a link from the Plan 9 site to the Monty Python script itself
(with some other worst jokes, including the Germans' attempts to retaliate
-- "Two peanuts were walking down the road..." -- but I'm not sure if the
link is still there. But you can read about a cool and small (though not
free) OS!
