 Name used in many places (DEC, IBM, and others) for the                    
 asterisk ("*") character (ASCII 0101010). This may derive                  
 from the "squashed-bug" appearance of the asterisk on many                 
 early line printers.

I'm in C part 2 at LSU... some days I wish I had a gun.

My teacher is a nice guy (British) and all but I cant ever understand

* = "splat" in his class
