Re: Naked arm wrestling: Schwern v Damian
I hope you guys are having fun because I'm not. The effect these last several emails about naked arm wrestling between Schwern vs Damian (Conway) has produced in me is NOT one of I wish I had been there but of If I had been there I would have been miserable, I'm glad I wasn't there. anybody ever wonder where all the female Perl programmers are There is something about this that I just don't get. Maybe, like the other person who wrote from this list that Humans can be controlled through their women it is something HUMAN that I and WOMEN are lacking (since we are obviously not quite human). I enjoy Fun with Perl when it is about coding, but maybe someone should enlighten me as to what is fun about the hero worship and women bashing. If it had been 5 emails or fewer I probably would have let it go, but since this thread is showing no signs of dieing, will someone please let me in on the joke?

I thought I sat in the third row behind you and Schwern and Jos Boumans (sp?) in front of you. Doesn't matter, I suppose.

For what it's worth... At the Y::E auction (to raise money to deal with any shortfall of conference expense, with the balance going to the Perl Foundation), which is usually an odd event anyway due to the auctioneering of one Greg McCarroll, Schwern won a bid for the opportunity to arm wrestle damian for the right to get two opcodes in parrot. Someone in the audience suggested that damian take off his shirt for this. He responded that he'd do it for a bid of 50 euros. It was pledged. Schwern said he'd do the same for the same bid. Again, the condition was met. So, basically, by doing it this way, they raised and extra 100 euros for the Perl Foundation. Just be glad we haven't been discussing the point in the auction where schwern auctioned off his pants. :-) dha -- David H.
