Ladies and Gentlemen,

I present to you the final and ultimate proof of mike420's
brain-damage:

In Haskell, we would express this as follows:

map (\f -> f 1)  [\x -> x + 1 | i <- [0..2]]

This, of course, evaluates to the expected [2, 2, 2]

map(lambda f: f(1), [lambda x: x + 1 for i in range(3)])

What do you think this evaluates to: also [1, 2, 3] or [3, 3, 3] 
as before?

It's [2, 2, 2] !

You are a blatant troll and now a public moron to boot.  Will you please
go away?  You may consider coming back when you learn 1+1=2.
