At Linux World Atlanta 1999 there was a booth that had snap bracelets. I was looking at them in frustration and stated "I think you need a PhD to figure this out". The guy standing next to me responded "I have a PhD" and stormed off. The guy working the booth then enthusiastically proclaimed "Do you know who that was? That guy is a Demigod, that was Dennis Ritchie".
