	I like the story, but I would like to point out that there is no 
"Chuck".  Quoting from <http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/index.html>:

		Many folks have asked about the BSD daemon's name. Contrary
		to a myth first started by some advertising droid at Walnut
		Creek, the daemon's name is NOT Chuck. He is very proud of
		the fact that he does not have a name, he is just the BSD
		daemon. If you insist on a name, call him beastie.

	But the rest of the story is a good one.  Thanks!
