As with any API that is under active development, sometimes as an Android developer you'll come across a really neat feature which, it turns out, doesn't exist in earlier versions of the API and isn't backwards-compatible.

One of my favorite things to do when I am teaching is explaining the whole Linux thing to my undergrad students.

Also, credit where it is due:

The basic idea for the suit came from a photoshop entry on freakingnews.com .
