From the press release about Trevor Blackwell's graduation (linked in this article):
In addition to his work in randomness, Dr. Blackwell has also developed pioneering techniques for rapid mass deletion of potentially critical information. His original work on /usr directories at Harvard has successfully been applied to IP addresses, and also, with the assistance of his wife Laurie, to human hair (see illustration).
"It's not a Flowbie!" said Dr. Blackwell. "They're the very same kind of clippers that actual barbers use."
I salute your use of inside jokes as press releases. And I identify with it. In fact, it reminds me of a press release my company launched about a year ago, in which we promise "mondo shirtage": http://www.prlog.org/11203938-new-shirt-website-promises-mon...
It's just hard for us to take press releases seriously.
