- pietro 17y agoI don't. What was it?

- lucumo 17y agoI like the ending. "Now, fast forward five years to 1997, when The Trentonian decided to look up William Figueroa to see how he was doing after his hour of fame. By then, he was a 17-year-old high school dropout who had fathered a child and was working a low-paying job at an auto showroom." Yeah, don't call anybody an idiot for a small error...
- jacoblyles 17y agoI got the reference, I just don't find 'references' funny. I don't see it's a joke (or otherwise interesting) for a commenter to remind us, that like the parent commenter, former Vice President Dan Quayle also mispelled "potato" in 1992.
- abrahamsen 17y agoWhen I visited the Unix room at Bell Labs in 1993, there was a picture of Dan Quayle before a blackboard with the famous misspelling. Below the the picture was the text "My heroe -- Ken Thompson".
