How do you think us unsuspecting Linux users felt when we were just normally
compiling Python 2.0, not listening to music for a change, run make test,
and suddently the too-loud speakers yell 'NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH
INQUISITION!' ? Let me tell you, I nearly had a coronary the first time it
happened to me :) Apparently, the times I compiled Python on my office PC,
from home, I scared a few of my colleagues and an innocent cleaning lady,
too... nowadays I make sure to tune down the sound before running make test
:)
