This is where I mumble something about immitation being the more sincere 
form of flattery or something...

As you may know, while I was at uni doing my BSc, I regularly had MSc 
students that I'd never met before in my life wander up to me and ask in 
broken English whether I could "fix their Java". I have no idea how the 
hell they knew my name or my skill with Java...
