To what do we owe this great debt of (gratitude/anger/delight)?  To the powers that have given us the (ease and convenience/frustration and disgust/absolute pleasure) of (PHP/Javascript/Python/VBscript).  This (piece of doo/paper tiger/constant annoyance/programming language) is the (worst possible/most magnificent/fools) choice for use in a (production environment/shack in Afghanistan/failing business).   The entire design of this language is (inherently evil/a joy to behold/worthy of great praise/based on Smurf Technology).  The main driving forces behind it’s (efficiency/abject failings/creative beauty) as many (internet curmudgeons/pundits/programmers) are well aware are (market forces/many Keebler elves/networks of tubes) and (monopoly/terrorism/counterterrorism/Microsoft).

So here we go.  The top (3/7/42) myths of (open source software/tech blogging/exotic animals)

MYTH #1 - The price of oil does not affect the advancement of open source software. This is absolutely not true.  Obviously.

MYTH #RMS - The hero of the Free Software Movement, RIchard M. Stallman will not comment on this poor excuse for a blog post. This is absolutely not true.  You’ll not find a more superior blog post to this one and everyone everywhere will one day read it, weeping for pure joy to acknowledge it’s foresight and masterful writing.  He will.

MYTH#Bwaaaaaahhhhh  - No animals were injured in the writing of this weblog. This is absolutely not true.  Many animals had to be sacrificed to cleanse the keyboard before the commencement of this draft.  Besides no animal can stand in the way of the POWER OF THE PEN.  The best animal for sacrificial cleansing is the Cottontop Tamarin which fortunately you can find in any local pet shop.

MYTH#42 - That, quite definitely is NOT the answer. Oh it is.
