Hmmm. Well, let's see.

Yeah, that first one, I think rubyists go for that, in a big way.

#2: I wish that rubyists went for that in a big way.

#3: We're trying!

#4: Both!

#5: Come on! This is OO!

#6: Depends on how good your VM manager is.

#7: "One, two, three...."

#8: Everything is special. Even us.

#9: Unless you want it to run fast, in which case, C is A Good Thing.

#10: Do you belive this about flatulence, too?

#11: Ok, maybe not....

#12: Hey, it's the only way to find the really cool syntax in Ruby.

#13: Ha! Perl made the mistake, why can't we?

#14: Or Japanese. Or not even. Ever.

#15: Nope, we go the NetBSD way on this one. Kinda. Well, at least you
can talk about it while you're waiting.

#16: Still talking about it while we're waiting.

#17: Ok, from here on (since I'm near the end), I abandon the Rubyist
pose. But, to support this example, category theory is pretty simple,
isn't it? After all, only five rules....

#18 (am I here already?): Ok, I give up. I'm switching to Haskell.
