Ken, cdr and car are the building blocks of lisp... which remind me of a badge I saw in a car once which was "my other CAR is FIRST"...

when you have a list, for example '(1 2 3 4 5) then car returns 1 and cdr returns '(2 3 4 5). And with that you can make loops and loops and loops till you find your self in recursive bliss.

Rats! I got it backwards. They are going to take away my lisp license. Good thing I'm now a Revolutionary. (I jumped onto "first" and "rest" as soon as they came out because I never did remember right.)
