[1. INTRODUCTION] This is the Kibectomology FAQ, version 0.0.1, patchlevel 0. It contains, like most FAQs, a listing of questions that are rarely if ever asked about its topic. Also, like most FAQs, it will be updated Thor-knows-when. [2. WHAT IS KIBECTOMOLOGY?] Kibectomology is the newest USENET religion, and is (more importantly) the only known religion to have an FAQ before the religion itself was founded. Kibectomology will be founded three minutes after the transmission of this FAQ, so help me Krishna. Your local Zone of Kibectomology will be founded in a few seconds or so. [3. WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH KIBOLOGY?] Kibectomology is to Kibo's absence what Kibology is to his presence. Kibo has been grepped by the Almighty and found matching. It is not known what he was piped to, or what was in the Almighty's pipe that gave Him the idea to grep for Kibo, for that matter. [4. WHERE IS KIBOLOGY HEADED?] Corruption, bureaucracy, and organizational senility. Eris help us. [5. OKAY, THEN, WHERE IS KIBECTOMOLOGY HEADED?] Who in "Bob"'s name knows? It doesn't exist yet! [6. IS THERE A KIBECTOMOLOGY NEWSGROUP OR FTP SITE?] No, unless you made one already. O Allah, what a silly question. [7. WHAT ARE THE HOLY WORDS OF KIBECTOMOLOGY?] All words are holy to Kibectomology. Every pattern is eventually grepped for by the Goddess. Every word in every language is Holy. Every name is Holy. [10. H00 IZZ DI$ K1BECT0M GUY?!] Except the name "BIFF", thank Zeus. [11. WHAT HAPPENED TO QUESTIONS 8 AND 9?] Like all words, all numeric bases are Holy -- but octal is Holier right now. (Next time, we number in ternary.) By the way, your local Zone of Kibectomology was just founded a second ago. You missed it. May the Gaia Messiah have pity on your soul. [12. ANYTHING ELSE?] There has to be. We haven't gotten through all the deities yet.
