Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong

If you are a computer nerd, I predict that the blog post "A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages" will be the funniest thing you've read in a while (well, at least since your last visit to xkcd). If you are not a computer nerd, you may learn just enough about what the nerds are talking about to appear wise, witty, and appealing jaded when conversing with them at parties.
