Unix consists of two blocks eating a long barge. It is a useful sparker and was found by David Buckingham in February 1976. The name derives from the fact that it was for some time the mascot of the Unix lab of the mathematics faculty at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. It is about the twenty-sixth most common naturally-occurring oscillator, being about as common as octagon 2.[1]
