Linus Torvalds once found a segmentation fault in the universe

In fact ...

Linus Torvalds can run kill -9 and kill Chuck Norris.

Linus Torvalds doesn't die, he simply returns zero.

Linus Torvalds runs Linux on his wristwatch and toaster.

There is no theory of probability, just a list of events that Linus Torvalds allows to occur.

In the tradition of PZ Myers and Obama vs. Chuck Norris, we now have Linus Torvalds vs. Chuck Norris.

They include:

Rahm Emanuel tells people to fuck off by showing them the place where his right middle finger used to be.
