ActiveState announces four new Python-related projects (PythonDirect, Komodo, Visual Python, ActivePython).
PythonLabs announces four planet-sized-brains are going to be working on the Python implementation full time.
PythonWare announces PythonWorks.
Is that the sound of pieces falling into place or of a rumbling avalanche "warming up" before obliterating everything in its path?

Five.

Full-on, robot chubby earthquake.

I agree with the basic premise: Python *is* going to get a lot more visibility than it has enjoyed in the past. You might even add that the latest GNOME release (1.2) has excellent Python support.

I /do/ have a very large brain. I keep it in a jar on the headboard of my bed, surrounded by a candlelit homage to Geddy Lee. How else do you think I got so studly playing bass?

Ah, yes. We take you back now to that splendid year of 1978. Cue a certain high-voiced Canadian singing
The trouble with the Perl guys is they're quite convinced they're right...

Or a big foot hurtling its way earthward? The question is, what's that thing under the shadow of the big toe? I can only vaguely make out the first of four letters, and I think it's a `P'.

Look closer, big-egoed-four-stringed-guitar-playing-one. It could just as easily be a J.
And you know what you get when you put P and J together?
