Unhappy YBOD - Stupid question alert
OK - I know YBOD = Inspiration, but why? My best guess (after a little red wine) is "Yellow Box on Diver". After putting me out of my misery with the right answer - are there any humorous alternatives out there.

It was. Basically it was used by the antis as a slur and adopted by the users out of bravado. At the begining there were a lot of accidents when people said "I knew him. He couldn't be that dumb." but it is scary how easy I find it to drop back into the OC thinking that if there is gas to breath all is well. Calling it the Yellow Box Of Death in my own mind keeps a little healthy paranoia running, rather like the KISS "kill you" sticker.

The other popular name is "Kato" this comes from the Pink Panther movies the Yellow assassin who is always trying to kill Cleausau.

I prefer Kato as I remember that it's trying to kill me and it keeps me on my toes.

Time to dive.
