I'm a bit surprised at BBspot for this, actually

The whole "Linux successfully installed on [humorous inanimate object]" has been done at least twice before

Back in 2000, IBM showed off a wrist-watch running Linux
http://www.research.ibm.com/Wearable...inuxwatch.html
this spawned a whole heap of spoof articles

It happened again in 2004 - I can't remember what set it off (may have been that linux running petrol pump? - can't remember)
but the spoof articles were rehashed in 2004

(I remember at the time, people complaining that the joke had been done to death already)

and now this one

We need some better inside jokes
the ones we have currently are old....
