As for pl*co, it's a very old net curse. Many, many years ago (back
when this newsgroup was still rec.aquaria) people noticed that if they
wrote too much about their plecos, the fish died shortly thereafter.
Soon, a smart-alec started typing pl*co in the hopes that he would be
able to discuss his fish without it keeling over. Since we all love our
plecos, the idea caught and has been a charming quirk of rec.aquaria
ever since.

Don't talk about it too much, or you'll bring Mr. Gard*n*r around with
his asterisk gun and we'll all be covered in them.
