Perl's place in history

[the hatter]

1987 - Larry Wall falls asleep and hits Larry Wall's forehead on the
keyboard. Upon waking Larry Wall decides that the string of characters on
Larry Wall's monitor isn't random but an example program in a programming
language that God wants His prophet, Larry Wall, to design. Perl is born.
