Fun: HaWiki Quotes Page

I just want to point out the HaWiki Quotes Page to those who haven't seen it before. Most of the quotes are from the #haskell IRC channel on FreeNode, and most are chosen for their humor value. I imagine that everyone here, no matter where you stand on FP or Haskell, will find some entertaining quotes (and anyways many of them are only tenuously related to Haskell at best). Lest you get the idea that this is some roundabout Haskell advocacy, while there are quotes that reflect well on Haskell, there are also quotes like this scathing indictment:

"But I don't _want_ functional programming!"
-- Sarah Peyton Jones, age 11, upon hearing the rules of Go

I'm assuming people here know who Simon Peyton Jones is.
