New York is real. The rest is done with mirrors.
Mother is far too clever to understand anything she does not like.
-- Arnold Bennett
How come only your friends step on your new white sneakers?
Electrocution, n.:
Burning at the stake with all the modern improvements.
Thank goodness modern convenience is a thing of the remote future.
-- Pogo, by Walt Kelly
A great nation is any mob of people which produces at least one honest
man a century.
In the beginning was the word.
But by the time the second word was added to it,
there was trouble.
For with it came syntax ...
-- John Simon
God rest ye CS students now,
Let nothing you dismay.
The VAX is down and won't be up,
Until the first of May.
The program that was due this morn,
Won't be postponed, they say.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
The bearings on the drum are gone,
The disk is wobbling, too.
We've found a bug in Lisp, and Algol
Can't tell false from true.
And now we find that we can't get
At Berkeley's 4.2.
(chorus)
