On the topic of including odd humor bits in documents, just to see if
they're really paying attention:
At a previous job where I worked as a developer, the techwriters had
included the word 'ocelot' in the glossary. Just put it in there,
with a reasonable, accurate, short definition.
The docs had been released, in the field for 3 years when I started
work there. I was the first to comment on it.
OBTW, How do you tittilate an ocelot? Ocelate her tits a lot.
It's been a long day...
