I n the late 80's I used a CAD/CAM program which I used to construct 2D drawings based on a customers paper drawing ready for generating gcode output for our CNC lathes. Contruction of the drawing was done through a command line interface. A line at and angle needed the prefix 'B' for bearing, so for a 45 degree line the command was 'B45' or 'B60' for sixty degrees, a horizonal line was 'B0', that is zero not an 'O', should you type 'BO', the screen cleared then filled up with the text ' You are stinky, have a wash'. You had to crash the program to stop it.

I was not best pleased on several occasions I did type BO
