Ouch, down-voted. Who said programmers have no sense of humor? Well how about this way:
"Mental pleasure are never cloy; unlike those of the body, they are increased by repetition, approved by reflection, and strengthened by enjoyment."

- boneheadmed 15y agoOk, a third time for the literalists, but I think it is my last attempt. Nothing spoils a news.ycombinator.com comment party like the scolding professor who comments: "We've had this story posted a number of times here. One ruler to the hand for each iteration." Particularly with something so comical. This blog post should be re-posted at least monthly. And for the humor-impaired weekly. No do as you will with me cruel world. You can take away my karma and even my upvote, but you can't take away my dignity. (On the other hand, if the down votes were for recommending GOTO instead of GOSUB, then this is completely understandable.)
- chalst 15y agoIt was a good joke and there were some nice comments. If you want to relive the comment thread again and again, the web is full of places where the joke would still be fresh. HN would be just a little bit better without these "lets do the comment party again" threads.
- boneheadmed 15y agoAppreciate your reply, and without needlessly belaboring the issue any more then I have, perhaps a "greatest hits" page for worthy articles would be in order as suggested below. Because truly, it can be difficult to ensure seeing every worthy article that makes it's way up the HN page.
