From Ganslle news letter, thought these appropriate.
Quote: Assembly language - The only computer language that allows unlimited artistic expression, assembly was invented by FDR during the Depression as a jobs program.
Quote: C++ - An object oriented programming language which has an on-going committee whose goal is to add so many obfuscating features that no single individual really understands all of its nuances.
As it happens C# seems to be following suit.

We recently posted a job ad, I wanted it to say "Some Assembly Required", well, because it is. HR wouldn't go for it.

From the days of the tech bubble, circa 2000...
A friend worked at Research in Motion, makers of the Blackberry, ticker symbol RIM. When a hiring blitz was planned, HR solicited employees for suggestions on how to advertise job openings. More than one suggestion included a line about wanting a RIM job.
There was also a hiring blitz where I worked, but competition was so fierce that it was hard to find qualified candidates. At an all-hands meeting of close to 500, my boss lamented the quality of the CVs we were receiving. "There are a lot of Joe Blows, but not enough Joe Blow jobs." Howls of laughter, but it was totally innocent. English wasn't his first language, and there's no way he would have knowingly used that line.

Mike Hankey wrote: C++ - An object oriented programming language
I know the quote is tongue in cheek but this always gets my BAC up.
To say C++ is an object oriented language
A) misses the fact that it's also a generic programming language (as in GP), a procedural language, and now (finally) a functional language. C++ is one of the few major languages out there that can basically do it all.
B) specifically ignores GP and metaprogramming (template, constexpr, et al) which makes C++ unique among major languages as far as I know. This despite this stuff underpinning a major C++ component - the STL.
C) encourages new C++ users to think about C++ in a very limited (albeit familiar) fashion.

Fancy some Häggis Dazs[^] Scottish ice cream?
Or eco friendly Gorilla Glue[^] perhaps?

I can almost see the Gorilla Glue coming true.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I say feed and provide water to those protesters, but don't remove them. Their own embarrassment will put an end to their protests.

I wouldn't bother feeding them; after all, they willfully brought it upon themselves.
Their deaths would raise average human intelligence by a fraction of a point, and probably contribute more to the fight against global warming than anything else they did.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Minor spoiler: have heard this word more than 40 years ago in a Botany class. But yes, this is almost a proper noun.
