Okay - I wanna know - how much are ya'll paying this guy?! 

This is a delightful thread! He keeps making silly assumptions and asking
stupid questions and ya'll keep coming up with absolutely *wonderful* 
facts and figures about Python and why it's so much better... I mean, you
couldn't *ask* for a better set of straightlines... 

This whole thread should be collected into a FAQ! It's fantastic PR.

Just my $.03 worth.
