>"Wankadia" is an intriguing surname, combining as it does "Arcadia", the ancient Greek idea of a rural utopia and "Wank". This[0]: CALIFORNIA: From Latin 'calor', meaning "heat" (as in English 'calorie' or Spanish 'caliente'); and 'fornia', for "sexual intercourse" or "fornication." Hence: Tierra de California, "the land of hot sex." Should be right up your alley (yes, there's a double entendre there), friend. :) Sadly, your sense of humor (and mine, for that matter) isn't very popular around here. And more's the pity.

Huh, I'm pretty sure I first encountered this California joke from some variant of fortune[1] back in the '80s. Haven't thought of it in ages. ("fortune -m fornication" comes up empty on my linux system now though.) [1] https://linux.die.net/man/6/fortune https://linux.die.net/man/6/fortune

("fortune -m fornication" comes up empty on my linux system now though.) Yep. That's where I remember that joke from too. A DDG search returned the link I used as the first result. I'd note that when looking for fortunes (ala fortune(6), to which you refer), the following sites are often useful: https://motd.ambians.com/ https://motd.ambians.com/ http://fortunes.cat-v.org/ http://fortunes.cat-v.org/ https://bsdfortune.com/ https://bsdfortune.com/ Edit: fixed man page section for fortune and formatting.

Thanks! I was lying when I said the original article was interesting. Once I saw that stunning surname I could think of nothing else, didn’t retain a word of the article at all.
