And if you do not master your anger, your anger will master you!

We have been pursued by the agents of the shadowy Conspiracy Against
Compilers, founded by two old IBM 360 assembly programmers and John
von Neumann's worshippers, since our project was first announced.  We
would like to beg your distinguished indulgence in transferring
US$30,000,000 (Thirty Million US Dollars) into your bank account.

Our software, which admittedly we can't show you because it doesn't
exist yet, allows any person to program without understanding the
problem they're trying to solve.  It can also make your car run on
water and losslessly compress random data by 50%.

The Nine Commands given to us by the Prophet of the Three Seas are as
clear as the sun in the daytime, and as powerful as a tornado.

Remember: God is within YOU!  Let Jah be praised.
