Are You Sure It Wasn't Written By Them, As Well?
I had to delve back into python for a few minutes today.  The experience
reminded me of an episode of Nature about the Burmese Python on PBS recently.
They said that as a python crushes his prey, the victim's blood pressure spikes.
In the end, you're as likely to die from the blood-pressure-induced bursting
blood vessels as you are from the inability to breathe.

Python - the language - and a python - the snake - have something more than
their names in common.  Every time I use Python my blood pressure spikes
and I have trouble breathing.  How can you possibly make more errors in the
design of a language than your predecessors?
