Nerd Trivia.
Connect the Unabomber, pornography, Lord Byron, and a concurrent programming language.
Answer: David Gelernter
David Gelernter, professor at Yale, and a target of the Unabomber, invented the concurrent programming language Linda, named after Linda Lovelace (the star of Deep Throat) as a twisted sort of joke, as the only other woman to have a programming language named after her is also a Lovelace: Ada, daughter of Lord Byron.
You can't make this stuff up.
