We are pentium of borg.  Division is futile.  You will be approximated.

   PENTIUM = Parts Exist Now Though Invariably Undergo Meltdown

   After the FDIV bug:

   Q: What do you call that 'Intel Inside' sticker?
A: A warning label.

   Intel, where Quality is job number 0.9993724168!

   Did you hear about the new 'morning after' contraceptive from
 Intel?  It's called RU-586.  It causes the embryo to not divide
 correctly.

   And finally, the Pentium theme song (to the tune of Daisy Bell):

 Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do.
 Getting hazy, can't divide three into two.
 My answers, I cannot see 'em;
 They are stuck in my Pentium.
 I could be fleet,
 My answers sweet,
 With a workable FPU!

 (All seen around the 'nets (there was more than one, back then) at the
 time, always unattributed.)

  Most servers -- especially back then -- don't do a lot of floating point.  :)
