The first google entry when you search for it gives you the answer. It is actually unbelievably easy
to find the answer via search. If a new PHP developer can't find it then maybe they
shouldn't be writing code.
This is a piece of history from the PHP 3 days and think it adds some character, a story (and
history) to PHP. Don't think we should take this out after a good 12 years.
I would prefer this was not changed.
