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...'"

Need further instructions..

It's funny... laugh.

Where's the contigency plan if it isn't, oh mighty Slashdot? Should I consult the SlashCode? Will it be funnier if I subscribe? HELP ME!
WHAT DO I DO?

Wrong Category...

[mmThe1]

I wonder why the slashdot category for this story says "Programming". Are the "Henry my brother-in-law needs some page hits" category slots already full?

Front-pager? Ofcourse.

'old-timers'

[DivineOmega]

One wonders if the said 'old-timers' were female. If so this is a rather poor pickup line.

I mean, how many women do you know who would be interested in Henry the Adequate's Python?

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

Beats me. If this article was a comment it would definitely be modded Troll.

Maybe it will be funnier in the dupe?

Slashdot editors spelled 'Henry' way wrong.

You would most likely not be "earning big $$$" even if you were a REAL python guru

Re:Is he made of money?

[Anonymous Coward]

Why is parent modded "offtopic"? You know what should be modded off topic? TFA!

way to go...

If they wanted to post something funny about python, instead of this nonsense, they could've just posted that:

Can we get this article retitled?

Can we get this article retitled?

Maybe something like "Henry Python and the blog of shame"?

I find the best place to start when writing a book is the index. Then you know exactly where everything in your book is supposed to go. "Ok, I need to talk about widgets on pages 15 and 123, check."
