Not Linux related but completely Linux related.  The following was 
excerpted from a post by a programmer who also rides motorcycles. 
Perhaps a C&C warning is in order:

> Ok, so competent motorcyclists know Newton's three laws of motion.
> Objects at rest stay at rest - objects in motion stay in motion unless acted

> Check.

> Acceleration of a moving body is proportional to that outside force applied,
> and inversely proportional to that mass of the moving body. No Problem.

> When two bodies interact with each other, action and reaction forces are
