Yeah, but today you drank Java, your favourite Coffe blend, while telling your best buddy you plan to get Groovy tonight with Ada, buying her a Ruby collier & explaining her some Basic concepts of computer science - because that always makes her express her astonishment about your mad coding skillz with that cute little Lisp she has. Just don't forget to not use a Clipper in front of her again. She only forgave you for that because you tooke her to the Eiffel Tower, meeting Pascal there. He just got his degree from Haskell university - which is a major break-through, because all of his professors working on a Scheme to expel him from there. But he showed it to these little Brainfucks. Sorry, but if people are joking on you - there must be other reasons for that than a name of a programming language. And I'm beginning to think I know it.... Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
