[oak perl] Perl 6 and Parrot Humor?

[Belden Lyman]

For me the really funny part about this is that Cozens' original
article "Programming Parrot" was an April Fool's joke, featuring
a fictitious interview with the inventors of Perl and Python.

Aside from Parrot being born out of a joke, another good one
that's made it into perl6 is "ponie". http://tinyurl.com/4qrmj

It could be worse. London.pm could have requested that Larry call
it Buffy :)
