A well-known compute cluster at Berkeley created hostnames after types of disasters: -tsunami -apocalypse -famine -avalanche -hailstorm -lightning -heatwave -locusts -tornado -fallingrocks (<-- my favorite) Interestingly, though run on a shoestring, this proved to be one of the most reliable set of servers on campus. I guess the disaster naming was a sort of a reverse jinx.
