Wouldn't that be Star Wars?

Star Wars ? With R2D2 and C3PO ? Ahahah. How can one be so ignorant of scifi culture. What's next ? Han Solo as captain of the Millenium Falcon and Spoke having pointy ears ?

He called them baby books, but they were really instruction manuals for building psychopaths.

The oddest thing about the word "soccer" to me is the Brits actually invented it and then moved on to use football later. In the US we had a football so the change never happened.
FWIW, somehow the word "soccer" is a shortening of the word "association". I can't explain the leap between them but I'm an American so I don't have to.

We just call it "Wendy Ball" and leave it at that.

Football was originally known as association football, to distinguish it from rugby football, a totally different game.
|
|
|
|

"Soccer" came from Oxford University students, shortening "association football". They also came up with "Rugger", shortening "rubgy football".
Given both words came from what most normal Brits deem(ed) a snobbish institution in a period where association football was considered the "working men's game", it is not much of a surprise that it never caught on in the minds of the impoverished British labourers of the past.
Even "Rugger" is rarely, if ever, used now - it is also widely considered a "toff" word..

While reading through a potential news item[^], I came across the Beatnik language[^]. And now my head hurts.
Someone with waaaaayyyy too much time on their hands: Here is the source for a program that simply prints "Hi" to the screen.
Baa, badassed areas!

that looks like a perl script
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

More readable than perl  (Just as obtuse though, yeah)

Maynard G. Krebs[^] is my favorite programmer of all time so it all makes sense to me.

I've ditched C# and .NET in favor of Beatnik.
I'm still using SQL Server though, can you recommend a good ORM?

Panicked for a second. I actually have to work with Groovy code. (Mostly fixing others code... Exception handling? We don't need no stinkin' exception handling!)

I am still wondering why nobody invented the pirate programming language. ARRRGHH!
|

|

Not a programming language but our own Sander has developed "arrgh.js" to provide LINQ like functionality in Javascript.
Pretty neat IMO.
