When I worked on Radars, many technicians were convinced there were electronic 
gremlins, because the rate at which the equipment suffered a failure within 
days before a missile test was uncanny. I am not superstitious, but by the time 
I was discharged, I was not ruling out the possibility.

I like "kabouters".  I have a friend who refers to unexpected behavior in 
software as the work of faeries.  I imagine Brahmanathswami blames the 
Menehuni.  I blame Coyote, the mischievous spirit the native Californians 
blamed for the inexplicable annoyances of their world. :)
