hehe, I love these speed-readers...." I know lots of languages... I read [ the preface of ] many books ( well ok, sometimes if I was really in a hurry I just read the back of the binding ) and I can tell you about their typing, which programming paradigms they (supposedly) support and whether they utilize late or early binding ( not that I really know what any of that stuph is). I even went to the effort of 'copying and pasting' and even compiling some of the 'hello world' examples. I win!! "
My favourite was:
" Hi, I'm John Doe Jr. I am 14 years old and I know Perl, PHP, HTML, Java, C, C++, Basic, Fortran, Pascal, Ada, SmallTalk, Lisp/Scheme, Python, Modula, Algol, Simula, Haskell, Forth, Curry, Prolog, SQL, Tcl,..... ..... Sed and Awk. Now I am getting bored, and want to learn another language. Which one should I learn now? "
