Rants About Software

I'm sure most PHP programmers are aware of this, but for those who don't know, PHP stands for "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor". That's right, the first "P" stands for "PHP". It's a recursive name. So when you say "PHP", you're actually saying "(PHP)HP". From here, it's just a downward spiral.

Infinite Recursion

PHP = (PHP)HP = ((PHP)HP)HP = (((PHP)HP)HP)HP = ((((PHP)HP)HP)HP)HP = (((((PHP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP = ((((((PHP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP = (((((((PHP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP = ((((((((PHP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP = (((((((((PHP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP = ((((((((((PHP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP)HP → ∞

It gets worse...
