I asked my 10 year old what he thought of GNUMed first, and he asked
"What does GNUM mean?"  - in other words, he interpreted GNUMed as the
past participle of a verb GNUM. When I showed him GNUmed he got the idea
that it was really two words, and I was able to show him this page in
response to the inevitable question:
http://home.vicnet.net.au/~neils/africa/gnu.htm at which point he said
'Oh, GNUmed must be medicine for sick kalabaw' (kalabaw=Tagalog for
water buffalo, and "meds" is Filipino-English as used by his mother to
refer to medicines).
