And in the René Magritte[1] stakes, in the staionary cupboard there is a box of invisible tape -- that doesn't have anything in! Truth in advertising?

[1] René Magritte famously produced a painting of a pipe captioned Ceci n'est pas une pipe, or as perl programmers would say, !/|/.

To compare Perl to PHP is practically blasphemy.

Heh, it was another geek that said it, not I. It kind of looks like it, but I refuse to believe that PHP started out as a couple of modified bits of Perl.

Sorry if I have blasphemed; I am but a trainee geek, so forgive me. *flagellates self with USB cable* ^_~

*ROFL*

Scarily, I used mysql_real_escape_string, mysql_connect and a lot of those random array functions in my group project. That kind of makes me feel better taht I plunged myself into it and kind of understood it. You never know, it might be an Employable Skilltm and all that...

PS- Loving the Firefox icon. If I have anything going for me besides poking PHP, I do at least swear by the better browser. :)
