  Knights of the Lambda-Calculus
  
     A semi-mythical organisation of wizardly LISP and Scheme
     hackers.  The name refers to a mathematical formalism invented
     by Alonzo Church, with which LISP is intimately connected.
     There is no enrollment list and the criteria for induction are
     unclear, but one well-known LISPer has been known to give out
     buttons and, in general, the *members* know who they are.
