That made me think of Spaceballs: Dark Helmet: So the combination is one, two, three, four, five. That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage! [President Skroob walks in.] Skroob: What's the combination? Colonel Sandurz: One, two, three, four, five. Skroob: One, two, three, four, five? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage! [Colonel Sandurz and Dark Helmet give each other a look.] Skroob: Prepare Spaceball 1 for immediate departure! Colonel Sandurz: Yes sir. Skroob: And change the combination on my luggage!

The interaction went something like this: Me: *sees usernames on login screen's list* Huh, "root" is a funny name. *enters "root" into password prompt & clicks "Login"* Me: This is neat; wonder what this is? *proceeds to click other stuff accessible from the KDE 2.x launcher menus until it was time to leave, during which at some point "reboot" was clicked*...
