Q: What's the difference between writing Perl and taking a severe beating? A: Nothing. The wonder of Perl is that it helps you get the latter without needing any external assistance.

- maxerickson 13y agoI didn't vote on any of your comments here. Humor doesn't go all that well here, my take on that is that it is of course subjective, and a whole lot of it is quite a bit less original than maybe the commenter thinks (which turns it into a sort of noise).
