LOLcode!

Ok, so Lolcats are taking over the world completely. Quite possibly the universe. And I must admit, I get a kick out of the THOUSANDS of photos that people have posted to the net. I really like this one in particular.

This phenomenon has spilled over into the programming world. There is now something called Lolcode, a language that has no literal functions in the real world other than being silly and funny. Here is a snippet, courtesy of programming.linux.com (Justin and Kathy, you'll both get a particular kick out of this):

I love it! Hilarious! And cute. And eerily serious. Someone has gone as far as building an interpreter for Lolcode, so nobody can just sit around and wing it. It has a dedicated syntax.

If you're a programmer and want to ramp up your skillz, I suggest you purchase the book.

Plzkthxbye.
