I think you meant Unix' are like spiders... They've all got lots of legs attached to their heads, big fat bloated bodies, all look superficially alike to the uninitiated and scare the shit out of people who come across them unawares. Not only that, try and get two of the beggars to talk to each other and they're likely to both end up in quivering half digested heaps on the web!
