OH HAI

—devadutta @ 23:59

The dude on the left in 2 created X and 1 “wrote” something for him while describing his creation. Later, the dude to the right in 2 created Y, and 1 “wrote” the same thing for him in a different way. What 1 “wrote” has since become EPIC and everyone make it a ritual to write what 1 wrote using whatever they create. What did 1 “write” ?

  1. kernighan

  2. Ken_n_dennis

P.S: Since you are reading bb, chances are very high that you have written it too!
