This story may be apocryphal, and, I can't recall just where I read or 
heard it, but the story goes that Dennis Ritchie was on a committee at 
Bell Labs that was outlining a new computer operating system. Some on 
the committee were more conservative the Ritchie, who started referring 
to the committee as the "eunuchs committee". The name for the operating 
systems was later sanitized, of course, to Unix.
