DEC error messages (was foo?)

DEC's OS/8 had three ways to invoke TECO - they were TECO, MAKE and
MUNG.  If that in itself was not funny, if you ever typed:
	MAKE LOVE
You would get the response:
	Not war?
and TECO would then fire up as usual.

Alas - I can find nothing funny about VMS.  DEC goes corporate.
