+Chalk
+
+Chalk is a paint application for bitmap images. It's also, according to
+the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:
+
+The first of four Hindu periods contained in the great Yuga, when the
+genius of Truth and Right, in the form of bull, stood firm on his four
+feet, and man gained nothing by iniquity.
+
+In the Mahabharata, the name 'chalk' is used in a context where this
+can be translated with 'perfect' - the perfect age.
+
+Chalk is Swedish for chalk (or pencil?) and rita means "to write".
