Story time: I went to a small and pretty nerdy tech school (WPI), and there was an IRC channel at the time. One day I noticed that there were messages coming from a user named, IIRC, "compooper". Later I learned while visiting one of the regulars' student housing that they had an upstairs bathroom with an old vt-100 or somesuch wired to it. Not quite the same but got a laugh out of me :-)
