this gem I found is more of a slight inside joke from slashdot, but still kida funny (if a bit mean):

It is official; Netcraft confirms: Richard C. Hoagland is dying.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered conspiracy theory community when IDC confirmed that Richard C. Hoagland's market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all conspiracy theorists. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Richard C. Hoagland has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Richard C. Hoagland is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent conspiracy theory comprehensive scientific test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Richard C. Hoagland's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Richard C. Hoagland faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Richard C. Hoagland because Richard C. Hoagland is dying. Things are looking very bad for Richard C. Hoagland. As many of us are already aware, Richard C. Hoagland continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Enterprise Mission is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Enterprise Mission developers Art Bell and George Noory only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Enterprise Mission is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Enterprise Mission leader Richard C. Hoagland states that there are 7000 users of Enterprise Mission. How many listeners of Coast to Coast AM are there? Let's see. The number of Enterprise Mission versus Coast to Coast AM posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Coast to Coast AM listeners. Coast to Coast AM posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Coast to Coast AM posts. Therefore there are about 700 listeners of Coast to Coast AM. A recent article put Enterprise Mission at about 80 percent of the Richard C. Hoagland market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Enterprise Mission users. This is consistent with the number of Enterprise Mission Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, Enterprise Mission went out of business and was taken over by Coast to Coast AM who sell another troubled theory. Now Coast to Coast AM is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Richard C. Hoagland has steadily declined in market share. Richard C. Hoagland is very sick and his long term survival prospects are very dim. If Richard C. Hoagland is to survive at all it will be among conspiracy theory dilettante dbblers. Richard C. Hoagland continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Richard C. Hoagland is dead.
Fact: Richard C. Hoagland is dying

EDIT: If you don't get it, there are countless trolls on slashdot who use that as "It's official, netcraft confirms BSD is dying" just adapted rathe humorously to the situation
