When will stuff like this stop passing for humor? You can take any set of facts, grossly exaggerate it, and then deadpan it. You could probably write a program to do it for you.

Hopefully, never. It was funny. If you're a Lisper who is offended, you are taking yourself way too seriously.

But only Lisp would get it right...

My god! It's full of 'car's!

+1 for Starchild reference. I saw 2001 again recently. Amazing work. I still don't claim to understand it. But it makes you think.

hahah this takes the cake: "Paul Graham originally wrote reddit, in lisp, on the back of a napkin while he was waiting for a coffee. it was so powerful that it had to be rewritten in python just so that ordinary computers could understand it."

s/had to be rewritten/rewrote itself/

would be funnier.

Um, ok. Heh.
