"Python" is not a good name, should rename to "Athon"

Yeah, but today you drank Java, your favourite Coffe blend, while 
telling your best buddy you plan to get Groovy tonight with Ada, buying 
her a Ruby collier & explaining her some Basic concepts of computer 
science - because that always makes her express her astonishment about 
your mad coding skillz with that cute little Lisp she has.

Just don't forget to not use a Clipper in front of her again. She only 
forgave you for that because you tooke her to the Eiffel Tower, meeting 
Pascal there. He just got his degree from Haskell university - which is 
a major break-through, because all of his professors working on a Scheme 
to expel him from there. But he showed it to these little Brainfucks.

Sorry, but if people are joking on you - there must be other reasons for 
that than a name of a programming language. And I'm beginning to think I 
know it....
