From my notes

In class today, it occurred to me that "Therac" sounds like it should be the name of a philosopher. I'm not sure why. Maybe I parse it as a portmanteau of "Thoreau" and "Dirac" somehow.

Regardless of how I came up with it, consider the following sentence for an example of what I mean: "I believe it was the great John Therac who said, 'Bzzt!'"

Also, the work deluge for this semester has definitely started now.
