Developers' joke in Wikipedia:
====
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDSM
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.

Update:
The joke is gone now:
