I recently had a chance to take a look at SkinGraft and must say great work. However, the name conjures up some negative images of real skin grafts every time I think about it. Ick! Am I the only one, or has this already been addressed and dismissed?
I just think it’s clever!
It makes it easy to graft a new skin onto your plain-jane site!

No, but then I’ve been exposed to the humor of programmers for over 15 years.
For example, a command-line file viewing utility in UNIX is called "more", like a link to see more of a news summary might say "more...". So an enhanced version was developed, to allow scrolling backwards as well as adding other features. It is named "less".
Even the name UNIX is a sort of a sophomoric joke, it was originally written to run text games...er, manage text files, with the expensive mainframe MULTICS operating system in mind.
From there we got MINIX, and LINUX.
And the GNU project was supposed to come up with an operating system called Hurd. GNU...Hurd... get it?
