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...'"

    Ok, it was kinda nice, but let's get this out of the way: Why the lucky stiff's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby is funnier.

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

    Maybe it will be funnier in the dupe?

    Is it just me or is that article summary complete and utter nonsense?

    Well, technically "yes", but as the entire article reads like that summary, I suppose that actually makes the summary a fairly good one.


    Now, as for why this made the Slashdot FP... I dunno. Slow news day? It doesn't even belong in the "It's funny, laugh" section, since it completely fails at coming off as even remotely funny (despite trying soooooo hard).
