Another email sent to the Linux Plumbers mailing list:

"Hi there,

This is Jacob Bryant and I came across the helpful information you shared on the lpc.events website and was wondering if you were open to adding new resources to your page.

Unfortunately, plumbers are at a higher risk of being diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused from exposure to asbestos that takes 20-50 years to develop. It’s extremely important that those who have and are working in plumbing are aware of this type of cancer. That's why we made a guide that covers everything you need to know about mesothelioma as a plumber."

@rostedt I anticipated he should have been talking about rust in pipes instead.

@oleksandr @rostedt Oh, so the rust pipe is now broken! Needs fixing indeed.
You want to submit an LPC talk?

@oleksandr @rostedt AsbestOS, of course! The project looks quite rusty. Just like the PS3 hardware, to be honest.

@rostedt It might not be a bad guide for those of us who have poked network cables through questionable floors, ceilings and walls!

@ptesarik @oleksandr
It's called the AsBestOS because it's the best OS!

@rostedt OK but the amount of asbestos required to work on the kernel over the years...

@trini When I replied back saying that we are developers, I was thinking of adding, “but in the olden days, we had to wear asbestos suites to protect us from the flame wars”, but figured he wouldn’t get it.
