I really enjoyed the humor in this article. It makes it accessible enough that I will probably send it to a few if my newbie-programmer friends. Thanks, that's what I was going for - glad it's funny to someone other than myself ;) I had been reading through a backlog of old Steve Yegge articles at the time, some of which have very good jokes, and that inspired me to try to use it in this article. I agree that when done well, it can make the information that much more approachable.
