It would help at this point to quote the intro the 5th edition of the 
Prinicipia Discordia (http://www.ology.org/principia/intro5.html):

"""
Perhaps best of all is simply uttering a mondo. That is like picking up 
the telephone when it rings and saying, "Wrong number, please!" However 
much you think about a mondo it makes no sense - even clamps and pliers 
cannot get hold of it. Yet at the same time, if it is a good mondo, the 
longer you think about it the more it seems light it ought to make sense 
- although you can never figure out why. Beyond that much, a truly great 
mondo sticks to your mind like hot pine pitch - gumming up your thought 
process for weeks on end.
"""

To read the rest of the PD, I recommend the version at

Nope, Twisted is and always will be Open Source and/or Free Software, 
whichever makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

We will gladly take any money you send us - but you can still use it for 
free, of course - it's LGPL.
