The good old Djikstra! You know, some years ago in another newsgroup I saw
so many posts referring to some computer scientist called 'Djikstra', I
started to doubt myself and had to confirm that he really is called
'Dijkstra'.
Now I realize that there is a Djikstra, and a Dijkstra as well. Djikstra
is an evil clone of Dijkstra, which the Python Secret Underground is
keeping on ice in case they need any evil clones.
