DBMS vs BDSM
Dec. 29th, 2011 02:16 pmDevelopers' joke in Wikipedia:

Not to be confused with DBMS.

I guess there are enough similarities between BDSM and DBMS that people confuse these things:
1) Both are complex systems.
2) Dominant (DBA) and submissive (DBMS) participants are present at both.
3) Mutual dependence.
4) Occasional misbehavior.
