  Well, considering that it comes with the standard GNUemacs sources,
and lots and lots of people are running GNUemacs, it's probably pretty common.

  Also note that "psychoanalyze-pinhead" is simply emacs' "doctor"
routine (an implementation of ELIZA) talking to emacs' "yow" routine
(which spits out fabricated Zippy quotes).  You can run M-x doctor by
itself to talk to eliza, or run M-x yow to get a Zippy quote in your
mini-buffer....

  Yes, sir, emacs -- the editor that has everything -- including the
kitchen sink!
