Wait a second... are you saying that the Python developers created an 
advanced language feature relating to multiple inheritance, one of the 
most complex OOP concepts around, so difficult that most other languages 
simply prohibit it completely, and it wasn't instantly and correctly 
intuited by every single programmer based only on the name? Oh my stars, 
somebody call Ranting Rick, he needs to write a PyWart post to expose 
this scandal!!! 

*wink*
