You are spoiling the most simple joke:

"Who is general Failure and why does he need my attention"?

(other versions: what is he doing on my harddisk, in my computer)?

It is supposed to be a person's name, isn't it?

The oldest one I know is essentially obsolete, because very few people
use octal now, and many people (esp. younger ones) won't "get" it.
