I don't often pass on jokes, but XML jokes (that are meant to be 
XML jokes) are few and far between so I hope you will excuse 
me passing on this wonderful piece of humor, and accept my 
apologies in advance if you've seen it already.

I quote: 

"If programming languages could speak, really speak, not just 
crunch bytes and stream bits, they would have much to say that is 
both wise and profound.

After all, the original programmers were philosophers, and 
programming languages were philosopher tools..."
