Ponder while practicing yoga or drinking profusely:

1. Did Elton John’s Rocket Man ever meet up with David Bowie’s Major Tom (Space Oddity) in space? If so, what did they talk about?

2. Is “Run DMC” a command? And if so, what are they running from?

You mean, not a valid FAT16/FAT32/NTFS folder name.
