I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Seriously?  I have a professor who keeps telling me to read everything that man ever wrote.  I'm surprised that he's in the software.

It really does work! I put in all the text of my forum game, Starship Olympic (which, btw, was a complete ripoff of Douglas Adams' computer game "Starship Titanic"), and guess who I wrote like?


You guessed it, Douglas Adams, himself!
Or, if you didn't guess that, here's a booby prize.

Got James Fenimore Cooper with a chunk of C++ code. He lived from 1789 to 1851, so I don't believe he knew C++ :D

Well, Shakespeare was gay you know. It wouldn't be surprising if he would write something like that were he exposed to todays society.
