Don't think I can top yours, demerphq, but let's see:

• she-bang actually means something specific, not (w)hole
• interpreters are essential for everyday life
• we work really hard to be really lazy
• the deeper we go, the simpler our code
• cursing isn't enough; we must recurse
• it isn't enough to quote something; when we double-quote it it's going to end up saying something else
• saving context means spending your stack

ummm... what's funny about 42?
