Oh, I missed that because there are currently a discussion if it is politically
correct to brand the left shoulder with an I. The Supreme Court should
rule that the shoulder should be randomly selected by an intercal program.

Other characteristic of Intercal is the  Clear-Intercal Code Context
developed every year in the dark sides of the net. The users are requested
to develop code for a intercal program that a 
entry level manager can understand using the AD/Cycle methodology from IBM.
(Currently 24 manuals and growing). Managers are captured at IBM sites
all around the world and obliged to read the code presented to them.
Codes are ranked by the number of suicides they caused. The code with smaller
rates of suicide wins the  prize: a complete Moon workstation with
support of Y-Doors user interface. An intercal compiler is included
as standard programming language. 

It is interesting that the looser, i.e., the code with higher rates
of suicide receive another prize which is offered by IBM and kept
in secret. The only thing we know is that the last winner (J.Random
Hacker) retired and bought a island in the Pacific after causing
192 suicides among IBM managers.
