Henry's Python Programming Guide

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-just-for-programmers-anymore dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Seems like someone else has put up another Python programming guide, although this one seems to be a little easier to get through. From the article: 'My name is Henry the Adequate, and I am a Python programming Guru. I know all of their movies, and their TV shows, and can quote the dead parrot sketch in my sleep. In fact I do quote it in my sleep. That may explain why I am single, although it could also have something to do with the flamethrower. Naturally many old-timers want to know what this new-fangled Python thing is all about. "Henry," they say, "What is this new-fangled Python thing all about?" See what i mean? So, here, at last, is the article you have all been waiting for...'"

  1. Need further instructions.. by goldaryn · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's funny... laugh.

    Where's the contigency plan if it isn't, oh mighty Slashdot? Should I consult the SlashCode? Will it be funnier if I subscribe? HELP ME!
    WHAT DO I DO?

  2. Wrong Category... by mmThe1 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder why the slashdot category for this story says "Programming". Are the "Henry my brother-in-law needs some page hits" category slots already full?

    Front-pager? Ofcourse.

  3. 'old-timers' by DivineOmega · · Score: 3, Funny

    One wonders if the said 'old-timers' were female. If so this is a rather poor pickup line.

    I mean, how many women do you know who would be interested in Henry the Adequate's Python?

    > That's all I can say... WTF. Or perhaps WTFITDOS (WTF Is This Doing On Slashdot)?

    Beats me. If this article was a comment it would definitely be modded Troll.

    Maybe it will be funnier in the dupe?

    Slashdot editors spelled 'Henry' way wrong.

  6. way to go... by zx-15 · · Score: 4, Funny

    If they wanted to post something funny about python, instead of this nonsense, they could've just posted that:

  7. Can we get this article retitled? by tlambert · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can we get this article retitled?

    Maybe something like "Henry Python and the blog of shame"?
