Recursive Hanging

Posted at 10:09am on Friday February 10th 2012

Readers of this blog are no doubt aware of some programmers penchant for recursive acronyms, Gnu Not Unix (GNU) being the most popular.

With that in mind, here at LXF towers we all enjoyed seeing BoingBoing link to this recursive e-petition on direct.gov.uk: Public hanging for those who propose public hanging.

Whatever you (or we) think about the petition, recursion should be celebrated where ever it's found!

I think that people who propose public hanging for proposing public hanging need hanging.

String 'em up, I say! Wasting our time with their wimpy, lefty goody two shoes ideals!

That is something I call devotion, people who are willing to die for their cause :)

... to hear someone describe philosophers as "people who think about the ways we think".
