paco exists all right, perhaps as a ghost floating through cyberspace, for He not only haunts Perl monks, but everything, where we're privileged to learn what He likes:

Whales, really cold cheap american beer, Macintosh, The Toyota LandCrusier

The similarly mysterious sgtbaker also haunts everything where we can rapturously gaze at his photo (which proves he's a real person - not supernatural, like paco).
