Tributes

The genus of nematodesOscheius is a tribute to G. Osche.

gollark: Oh, you mean the waste heat from the GTech™ subplanck processing arrays there?
gollark: LyricTech™ is evidently as incompetent as ever.
gollark: Well, communication fundamentally relies on the concept of "information", which we have debug hooks for in here.
gollark: Oh, right, TS-943421469 has a dedicated one.
gollark: I'm pretty sure the tetraplex was just observing from nearby.
