  Erm I'm sure I won't be the first person to reply to this, but Turing 
Complete means that a system could be considered a superset of the Turing 
machine. And all programming languages are turing complete, possibly with 
the exception of JCL.. :)

  So in these discussions, it's a bit of coder humour.
