In honor of Halloween, I thought it would be appropriate to give you a bit of a laugh this morning! Rainbow Humor Page, a page of links (last updated Valentine's Day, 2000) under the Columbia.edu banner, had an interesting article on programming languages and how they are like different kinds of women.
Being a woman, but not a programmer, I found these to be quite funny. You'll have to tell me if they're accurate!
Here is a sample:
Assembler - A female track star who holds all the world speed records. She is hard and bumpy, and so is not that pleasant to embrace. She can cook up any meal, but needs a complete and detailed recipe. She is not beautiful or educated, and speaks in monosyllables like "MOV, JUMP, INC". She has a fierce and violent temper that make her the choice of last resort.
