The Church Of Open Source
The Church of Open Source has quite the congregation. The prophet? Richard Stallman, with his flowing locks and GNU gospel. The Bible? The legendary K&R C Programming book that's baptized generations of developers. The altar? That standing desk where we've all sacrificed countless hours debugging. And the God? Tux the Linux penguin, obviously—the deity who never crashes (just occasionally requires a sacrifice of obscure terminal commands). I've been worshipping at this church for 20 years, and let me tell you, the prayers sound suspiciously like Stack Overflow questions. "Dear Tux, why the hell is my pointer arithmetic causing segfaults? I swear I'll never use global variables again if you just fix this build."

Meet Keith: The Unofficial C++ Mascot
Ah, the infamous "Keith the Rat" - C++'s unofficial mascot that perfectly embodies memory management in the language. Just like Keith is missing a limb, your program is probably missing proper pointer cleanup. The joke satirizes C++'s reputation for being powerful yet dangerous - where one wrong move with pointers can blow your application's leg clean off. And much like this diseased rodent, legacy C++ codebases often carry the infections of technical debt that nobody wants to touch. The attribution to Richard Stallman adds an extra layer of programming in-joke, as he's the GNU/free software crusader who would absolutely hate being associated with this monstrosity. Memory leaks, undefined behavior, and segmentation faults send their regards!

The License Plate Is My Favorite
What happens when Richard Stallman designs transportation? You get this monstrosity - a vehicle so free it's practically anarchist. The license plate says it all: pure, unfiltered hatred for proprietary drivers. This is peak FOSS evangelism on wheels. The solar panels aren't just for energy - they're a political statement. And of course Windows are bloat - they probably add at least 2GB to the car's weight. The stuffed GNU mascot instead of a rearview mirror is just *chef's kiss* - safety regulations are just another form of proprietary control anyway.
