Why in coats? Was it really cold in there? Was this a fashion thing? Is
this some strange but necessary ritual for XP installs? (I have to do
one this weekend, onto qemu of course, so I care about this. I know
about the three female goats and virgin's blood -- thankfully easy to
obtain -- but my understanding is that as of Win2K the black candles no
longer need to be made of human brown fat but can be brown or white fat
from any primate.)
