Humor, Sarcasm, Irony

• a Math Joke (960)
  Without words.
• COBOL, the New Age Programming Language (864)
  Note (3-July-2010), by Shlomi Fish.
  I originally planned to prepare a parodical page about COBOL (more parodying the pages of modern languages than COBOL per se) a few years back, but due to some recent developments, it seems that I’ve missed that boat. So here are my notes about COBOL, with a little organisation, just in case it will make you chuckle.
  
• Computer Programming Humor (1,000)
  A collection of one liners, poems, riddles about and on programming.
  The author must have used Cobol in the early years, though I am not sure on the last. Have a smile !
  My favorite: DEC 25 = OCT 31.
  
• EBCDIC and the P-Bit (895)
  Read about the P-bit. It's a true story from the sixties. One may wonder how the computer industry survived from this goof. It is also a story about a hardwired code (EBCDIC and the punched card) that looses from a communication code (ASCII in 6-, 7- and 8-bit) by disruption.
