I've never seen this before, it's great! Two that stood out for me:
"1991 - Dutch programmer Guido van Rossum travels to Argentina for a mysterious operation. He returns with a large cranial scar, invents Python, is declared Dictator for Life by legions of followers, and announces to the world that "There Is Only One Way to Do It." Poland becomes nervous."
Being raised on Perl, I always suspected as much...
"1957 - John Backus and IBM create FORTRAN. There's nothing funny about IBM or FORTRAN. It is a syntax error to write FORTRAN while not wearing a blue tie."
Fortran remains my Most Hated Language. Of course, I never tried to write Fortran while wearing a tie, so that may explain it. Grumble grumble column major grumble grumble common blocks.
