file/folder name can be mistaken for an instruction, it will be  
barred, and some such thing will be a hangover from the days when the  
system was created.  In the 70s, when we were writing our own  
programs, we had to insert error detection routines for data that  
would give a nonsensical output.

The second will be a device implanted in Word for testing, also a  
hangover. Type =rand(A,B), and you get A copies of the sentence in  
column 1 and B copies in column 2. >>

More correctly, they are called Easter Eggs.
