A Joke

Overheard on today:

Richard M. Stallman, Linus Torvalds, and Donald E. Knuth engage in a discussion on whose impact on the computerized world was the greatest.

Stallman: “God told me I have programmed the best editor in the world!”

Torvalds: “Well, God told *me* that I have programmed the best operating system in the world!”

Knuth: “Wait, wait – I never said that.”

  1. I’m really laughing here John. At two things at once. It’s a good joke and I’m thinking it would really be funny if I knew who the heck these people are. (I know your regular readers know them but as far as I know they could be local farmers names)
    Very good!!!
