Henry's Python Programming Guide

An anonymous reader writes "Seems like someone else has put up another Python programming guide, although this one seems to be a little easier to get through. From the article: 'My name is Henry the Adequate, and I am a Python programming Guru. I know all of their movies, and their TV shows, and can quote the dead parrot sketch in my sleep. In fact I do quote it in my sleep. That may explain why I am single, although it could also have something to do with the flamethrower. Naturally many old-timers want to know what this new-fangled Python thing is all about. "Henry," they say, "What is this new-fangled Python thing all about?" See what i mean? So, here, at last, is the article you have all been waiting for...'"

WTF?

That's all I can say... WTF. Or perhaps WTFITDOS (WTF Is This Doing On Slashdot)?

John.

Re:Nonsense?

[pla]

Is it just me or is that article summary complete and utter nonsense?

Well, technically "yes", but as the entire article reads like that summary, I suppose that actually makes the summary a fairly good one.


Now, as for why this made the Slashdot FP... I dunno. Slow news day? It doesn't even belong in the "It's funny, laugh" section, since it completely fails at coming off as even remotely funny (despite trying soooooo hard).

I think the phrase you were searching for is "complete waste of time".

Who the hell put this on the front page?

[jschultz410]

I was actually looking forward to reading a quick introduction on Python as I primarily use C/C++ and I thought, "Hey, if it's on the front page of slashdot, then it's probably a decent article." Instead, I found this craptastic waste of time that doesn't even approach funny. It's just a bunch of really cheesy and way too obvious "jokes." Anyway, I don't mean to put down the author so much as whoever approved this story getting on the front page of slashdot. You guys are better than this. :)

Tagging system working perfectly.
