Any reference to SCSH should make note of Olin Shiver's infamous acknowledgements page in the manual.

The story goes: while Olin was working on his doctorate he had the idea to create an anti-acknowledgements page within his thesis. While the typical acknowledgements page covers those who gave lover and support during the author's effort. This page would be dedicated to everyone he got his degree despite of their efforts/encouragements. He, eventually, was talked out of this. Later, this idea re-emerged while at MIT's AI lab and ended up in the SCSH manual. It's definitely worth a read if you want a laugh.
