This reminds me of the old but jolly "IBM 370 Features and Op-codes" spoof
which had such gems as:

	Branch on Chip Box Full
	Branch on Power Off
	Add and Reset to Zero
	Rewind Card Reader
	Eject Disk
	Punch Operator
	Read Inter-record Gap
	Move and Wrap Core
	Illogical Or
	Slip Disk
	Rewind and Break Tape
	Reverse Drum Immediate
	Execute Operator
	Ignore Supervisor Call
	Create Data
	Hop Skip and Jump
	Burp and Clear Bytes
	... and so on ...
