You live in exciting times - google for "surfer dude" and E8 for a paper that purports to be a theory of everything. I stumbled across it last week and downloaded a pdf but true to form I have lost the link. It was written by A. Garrett Lisi. Even if his theory pans out, I would oppose changing the language name to Garrett, or Lisi, on the grounds that John Cleese was funnier. - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
