For the original inspiration, look up Maxwell's daemon on google.  In
the 19th century, Maxwell used the "daemon" entity to represent
thermodynamic forces acting between molecules.  I first heard of it in a
chemistry textbook where a fairy character was used as a "tour guide"
for atoms/molecules.

And if the cartoon picture of the BSD daemon is enough to give you the
willies, it is beyond the scope of freebsd-questions to help you ;)
