I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

Demons are real and they live inside your computer delivering your emails and internet. Before computers they used to screw around with physicists and mathematians and break their theories but now they're too busy to do that anymore.

Not religious in the slightest, my dad just saw me asking what Beastie on his BSD machine's screensaver was and decided to fuck with me when he realised I didn't know what a demon (in any sense of the word) was

Sounds like your dad was taking about software daemons and Maxwell's demon.

Can't tell you the number of people that screwed up 'demon' vs 'daemon' as a result of that little devil too.

Samba daemons are my favorite, sounds like fun
