The real story behind this sounds like something you'd hear from Chiomara.
Phil Proctor had a girlfriend who, as a little girl in Texas, used to run around
in her backyard "playing" with leprechauns. She claimed that one of them asked
her this question about the "porridge-bird" and then laughed and ran away,
so Phil (and Co.) thought it'd be a good koan for Ah-Clem (the hacker)
to use to introduce a virus (before the term was used in this way) into the
Direct Readout Memory (hence: Dr. Memory). If you ask Siri this question,
you get a unique response.
