It's amusing if nothing else. :)

Other examples

My favorite line from the RFC:



However, a simple extrapolation of Moore's law shows that even femto-second resolution will soon be inadequate.... And, by the year 10,000 the projected clock speed of the Intel Pentium MMDCLXVI (TM) will be approximately 10 ** (- 1609) seconds.
