I fondly remember learnign LISP in college.

We had to do a program where you figure out the colors for a map, knowing that the optimal is 4 colors.

The program is known to be unable to be solved for a badly ordered list using standard lisp and everyone submitted convoluted attempts that all failed (but that was expected)

All failed- except mine.

Since I knew that 4 was the answer I progrmmed it to resort the list until I got the answer 4. It was 1/tenth the size of everyone elses example and worked for every input they threw at it.

The teacher didnt know whether to fail me for cheating or give me an A for brilliance.

I successfully argued for and got the A, since the problem was not to find the least number of colors (which is known to be 4) but to output a properly colored map, which I achieved.

I built a Macho-man Soldier robot based on Professor McCarthy's Artificial Intelligence research.

I tried to market it, but was unsuccessful.

Everybody just made fun of it because it spoke with a Lisp.

Baddabing! I'll be here all night folks, try the Veal.

(Hmmm, now that Don't Ask, Don't Tell has ended, maybe it could be successfully marketed.)

OK, how many of you guys remember that "CAR" is "Contents of the Address part of Register number" and "CDR" is "Contents of the Decrement part of Register number"?

And who the heck left all these right-parentheses laying over here in a pile, huh???

RIP John McCarthy.
