On the ThinkPHP blog today, they have the perfect thing for a Friday - the truth about Rasmus and PHP (warning, harsh language, like the phrase "total crap" lie ahead) - Rasmus the Lamer.

Rasmus made us think he was doing great work by developing PHP. But as you already could read in this mail a PhD(!) found out the truth about Rasmus: His stuff "is total crap" and he isn't "fit to write a single line of code". That mail even includes some good advices for Rasmus, for example to "at least take the time to research [the] basics".

Now this point of view started to become widespread: even the organizers of the Free and Open Source Software Week in Sri Lanka found out the truth about PHP's father: His actual name is not Lerdorf but Lamersdorf. And understanding German you know that "Dorf" means village, so in reality Rasmus is some lame village guy not made for the big open source world! Sorry guys, move along, this PHP is just a buzzword... (thank's Andrei and Johann for these links)

This stuff cracks me up - between the high and mighty attitudes and the silliness, it's a fun Friday kind of post.
