The Free Hardware Foundation, headed by Richard St. Mallman
|
|
(aka The Studly Quux), has just announced the release of the GNUsub.
|
|
GNUsub is the FHF's submarine sandwich, intended to replace
|
|
other, commercial sandwiches. It measures seventeen feet by three feet,
|
|
and contains not only conventional ingredients such as steak, cheese,
|
|
onions, lettuce, mayonnaise, meatballs, turkey and roast beef, but
|
|
also less commonplace ones, such as yogurt, chocolate fudge, rocky road
|
|
ice cream, pineapple slices, breadsticks, brown sugar, kelp, paper and,
|
|
of course, Toll House cookies.
|
|
The GNUsub comes packaged with various kitchen utensils, the
|
|
most important of which is an oven, which allows the user to reconfigure
|
|
the GNUsub as a hot sandwich, or even as a pizza.
|
|
For the moment, the GNUsub is available only from FHF headquarters
|
|
in Massachussetts. It will be distributed nationwide as soon as deli-
|
|
catessen owners can be persuaded to give it away for free, as required
|
|
by the FHF Public License.
