I spent an extra few minutes making sure.

I hate Lisp. It is the antithesis of readability, and it's hard enough to read code in a readable language.

Heh. I use to remember in my computer science class our teacher want us to program clean codes (no waste) but now-a-days there is so much bad/wasteful codes much less readable.

I just read the vaccination thread, then scanned the New Posts and at a glance all I saw was "RIP" and "J" and "McCarthy" and for one shining moment I thought, "YAY! Jenny McCarthy is DEAD!!!!"
