Barbad OS - The Gaddy's take
The Gaddy had his pseudo-anthropo-illogical theories on the origins and drifts of KoBras. When in January 1996, it was revealed that I will be migrating towards Barbados, he had an interesting theory about the origin of the name.
Apparently, most PC's in that country ran a shoddy Operating System called बरबाद (barbAd) - hence the name barbAd-OS. The Gaddy didn't attach much significance to alternative theories like the Portuguese looking at the trees that resembled a bearded face and naming the place 'Barbados'. ('Barbado' is bearded man in Portuguese).
Whilst there, I didn't see many of those trees, but I didn't see that Operating System, either.

Reminds me of the guy who tried to create a computer with a 6-bit chip. He ended up with an "ar-bit" computer!
