So you should :)  Next you'll be telling us that you thought lynx was
just a text-based web browser when, as everyone else knows, it's a sort
of spray that makes women behave (more) oddly.

I know the Flanders and Swann song, though it predates me by decades.  I
do remember the "I'm a gnu" adverts for Typhoo Tea though.

I'm suddenly reminded of one of our Latin (a dead language children used
to be forced to learn as punishment for the crime of not being old
enough to leave school) teachers by the name of Elkington.  He had a
knackered old car with the registration "GNU 1".  I bet that's worth
good money these days...
