I know why they're all called BOB: to drive z/OS, you can't drink ;-) About 10 years ago an action was organized in Belgium to avoid drunk drivers: people driving to a party should select a BOB, the guy that wouldn't drink alcohol and drive the company home. I don't know who selected BOB as name, but it was a success, and since then everyone here know who BOB is. I heard that a similar action was since then undertaken in other countries, but with another name than BOB.
