Religion, in life and code

A co-worker sent me to a site to read about demons and candles. After a bit of a chuckle, I scanned other topics and noted that they had the following to say about Python:

A demon called PYTHON is linked to PRIDE and CONTROL. It wraps around its victim, keeping the victim from doing the things they should do.

- atheist kudra felt the need to share this in case anyone was watching the web cam and wondering why she was laughing.

Boy, did they screw THAT one up. It should read: A daemon called IRC is linked to CURIOSITY and CONTROL. It wraps around the victim, preventing them from logging off and from doing the things they should do. Particularly dangerous is a member of the family SLASHNET, going by the name #PERLMONKS. Avoid this daemon at all costs... - email Ozymandias	[reply]

I note it also claims that Python is the older name for Delphi. That's funny... did Guido work for Borland or something? I didn't know we had a Pe(a)rl Mayor or Chief of Police, either. At least the guy's for open source; seems to think secret code is a tool of satan.	[reply]
