We know true.

Continuing on the childish theme, my 6-year old son Alex claims to have invented and popularized this silly chant at his school: "kids are the best, we know true, put us all together and we shout BOO!"

Java is a minivan.

That's right, Java/J2EE is a minivan. It is not sexy or hip like Ruby or Python. It is sensible, practical, gets the job done, and is relatively easy on the software industry environment. C#/Dot-Net, of course, is the SUV: crass, macho, and a real environmental hazard, especially to endangered species soon to be Redmond roadkill like Borland, Ximian, SourceGear, etc.
