Alas, you aren't a true functional programmer after you start thinking that way either, since users aren't idempotent. twitter.com/quietfanatic/s…

My ID bracelet for the NICU describes our son as a "0 day"
This is not how I expected to get pwned. But it probably should've been.

@anocelot @MagicRealismBot You've confused world with whorled there. I'd visualize whorled peas now, but my black-eyed peas have no hare.
