99.99% of High School Seniors Can't Read Perl
Topic: Humor 9:49 am EDT, May 20, 2003

] Recent results from the standardized Perl Fluency Test
] showed that 99.99% of US high school seniors can't read
] Perl. This disturbing statistic shows that American
] students are painfully unprepared for life after
] graduation.
]
] "This shows that there is a real need for a Perl Monk in
] every classroom," said Perl Monk Kelly Adrity. "We've
] got computers in every classroom, now we need our kids to
] be able to use them, and what better way to learn about
] computers than to learn how to read and write in Perl.
] I'm glad the budget proposed by President Bush sets aside
] millions for Perl Monks. America will lead the way in
] Perl literacy."

] Not everyone shared Mr. Chen's view about the necessity
] of adding Perl to early elementary curricula.
] Programmers Against Perl (PAP) spokesperson, Keith
] Willingham said, "There's no better way to scare students
] away from computers than exposing them to Perl. Even
] experienced programmers are frightened and confused by
] it. The Perl lobby is just getting too powerful, and
] they need to be stopped."

Stopped? We can't be stopped.. Haha..
