To those of you in the dark about Bill Westfield's submission,
here's the story:

Peter Haase (login name UNCOLA) was a student here in
the mid-70's.  He wrote a good deal of programs for the
ITS systems.  He went on co-op assignment with HP in
1977 or 1978 or so, but still logged into MC relatively
often.  One day, people noticed his plan file
said something like "Hacking suicide for the thrill of it all",
followed by the lyrics to Pink Floyd's Brain Damage cut from
the Dark Side of The Moon album.

This was the last anyone heard from him - he was found dead
from strychnine soon after.

They say that a pun is the lowest form of humor.  I think,
with billw's entry, we've found something lower.
