Good stuff.  One of my favourites:

 Python is a truly wonderful language. When somebody comes up with a
 good idea it takes about 1 minute and five lines to program something
 that almost does what you want. Then it takes only an hour to extend
 the script to 300 lines, after which it still does almost what you
 want.
