I used to work at a startup with a character who would set his identity to be random fairytale-sounding nonsense, changing every day. So his commits on Monday would be attributed to Mr. Bunnymann, and Tuesday would be Doctor Funtime, etc.

It was super unhelpful when trying to do version control forensics. But if I'm being generous, I think maybe he was trying to remind everyone that anyone can put anything in their identity config, and we shouldn't trust whatever is in there for all that much.
