Satan, Britney Spears Top Paris Hilton In OSS References 182
An anonymous reader writes "Krugle, a software search company, had some time on its hands — it compared frequency of mentions in open source code of presidential candidates, Beelzebub and yes, Britney Spears." I wish they'd link to a nice long list of the other terms this revealed — there are probably a lot of subtler funny references and asides.

Even if you search for just code files, you sometimes find data inlined into a unit test:

So there you go. A whole lot of non-news.
