Is all this somehow akin to joining some ultra-secret society where 
trying to belong to it also involves running backwards in the nude 3 
times around the local street block with a pair of bricks attached to 
ones genitals, if one is a male, or to your chest 'embellishments', if 
one is a female?

And, moi, being a male, if I were to run in the nude backwards around 
the block 3 times with a couple of bricks attached to my genitals, what 
benefits would I get from then gaining this "ubuntu membership"?

Just curious of course.....
