A comment copied directly from Diamonds 2.0 source code:

So what is the big myth anyway? As is written in plain assembly above, whenever the GET READY banner is displayed, if you are holding down the keys [J] [O] [E] simultaneously when the banner disappears, then rumor has it that you will have unlimited lives. Once you are in the "mythical" mode, you can press [U] or [D] whenever the GET READY banner is displayed. When the banner goes away, you will automatically go up or down one level respectively. Great debugging tool, and even greater cheat tool. Joe is the name of my son. At the time I wrote this, I had only two children, and Kathryn was just too many keys to make you hold down at one time! :) Since this time, Jessica, Emilyn, Rachel, Sophrona, and Mariah have been born, but I still think that Joe was the wise choice.
