I remember reading this several times over my computing career/life and it never stops being funny. I can laugh because I love C and Unix :-)

In related news, C++ was invented to increase programmers' salaries: http://artlung.com/smorgasborg/Invention_of_Cplusplus.shtml

Why do people post such bs? Ever tried writing anything larger in assembly? C was a huge step and they got most of it right.

I think you missed this line:

"COMPUTERWORLD 1 April"

Even without that line, it is pretty clear that this text is not meant seriously. Although I personally like that kind of humor very much, I guess this is not true for everyone.

I can smell recursion. :)
