Today I was reminded of what I think might have been a fortune cookie from Bell Labs Unix: E Unibus Unix. Unibus was the backplane bus of the DEC PDP-11 series of minicomputers which was the main platform for Unix development for many years.
It's of course a play on the motto E pluribus unum (Out of many, one) which is on the great seal of the USA. We won't go into if that motto is still valid these days.
