    Why is the syntax of perl so bad? It lends itself to scripts that even the authors can't understand after a week or two.

    Perl and "Rizla fine rolling papers" should have a common tag line :

    In the long dead, we are all run

  9. The mystery of why we haven't yet found signs of aliens may have less to do with the likelihood of the origin of life or intelligence and have more to do with the rarity of the rapid emergence of biological regulation of feedback cycles on planetary surface
