well, it is a page full of jokes.
read it in context.
some of them are actually funny, (in an Asperger's humor sort of funny. )

How do I sort an array in reverse?

        @sorted = sort reverse @array;

sorting an "array in reverse" ;  as opposed to reverse sorting an
array.

also i am guilty of a chortle at

* Mark Twain reference, incidentally, this meta humor explanation is a
second killing.
