[Yhslug] 'truth happens" -- nice youtube video from red hat

[Kevin Cole]

Red Hat "old hat".  (Not the company, the video.  I almost think Bob
Young was still with Red Hat when I first saw it at a Red Hat
conference.  I know it's at least a couple of years old.)
Nonetheless, it was good when I first saw it. Good to see it's still
kicking around.
