There must be something wrong with me. I can't get enough of these stupid lolcats!

I love those lolcats. But think there must still be something slightly more wrong with you. Lolcode? I don't get it.

Well, it's the foundations of a programming language based on lolcat-speak (edit: as I said, a geeky reason ;))

HAI -- begin program
CAN HAS STDIO? -- ask for standard input/output
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!" -- display "Hello World"
KTHXBYE -- end program

Don't worry, I'm a programmer, I get it. Somehow just doesn't have the same effect without a picture of a cat though :)

Fair enough -- but that means there must be "something slightly more wrong" with me :o

exactly ;)
(I'm more of an ex-programmer, maybe some normality have seeped into my head in the intervening years)

Same boat. I don't get it. I used to program heavily (though not a programmer by training .. an electrical engineer).

I mean, I get the syntax, but the point escapes me without real feline images/icons.

Well, it turns out I'm not the only one with something more wrong with me ;)

Oh gosh...that's scary.

How do you declare a variable 'foo' and assign it a value 'bar'?
