You can pretty much always tell when one of my testers has been on a system because you'll find things named "moo". If it's been a long day, my names tend to be things like "please work" or "don't stop on me now". We're also into themes. For example, there was the "supper" system on which everything was named "coq au vin" "pizza" "top ramen with beef (memories of college days)", "I wasn't hungry", etc. My group does this _all_ the time.
