[contingencies]

I always used to laugh heartily when installing Slackware (back since the 3.0 days, ~1995?), the package descriptions would come up as the floppy disks were being read, and the most ridiculously inpenetrable one of all read: bison: A parser generator in the style of yacc. Of course, I did try to read the man page but found it mostly unenlightening (ie. being too far from present knowledge) at the time.
