	One of my favorites that I came across years ago (89 or 90)
	when needing to FTP files from a project at Berkeley.  Their
	entire lab of servers was named after natural diasters:

	Tornado, Flood, Fire, Earthquake, Mudslide, Blizzard, Drought,
	and of course among the worst of them all "Headcrash"

	Others I've come across include dictators, birds, planets,
	moons of planets, cars, tools, fish, track & field events...
