I don't either.

Me neither.

Intercal is the language to kill all languages. If you can program in 
Intercal you will be fired and put in a black list. No one will ever more
allow you to access any computer but Eric, which will give you just an
intercal compiler to work.

Then if you can build a compiler for another useful language in Intercal,
turing police will put you in a hospital for mentally disabled people. 

One of the most important features of Intercal is COME FROM, but you 
can read about it in the TNHD.

. Theoretician which are unhapy with the io system of Intercal recently devised
an incredible diselegant algorithm to allow ASCII output.

If anyone does read this newsgroup, they'd probably think twice about
admitting it.  I mean if my boss ever found out I know intercal (and well,
if he figured out what intercal looked like) I'd surely be out of a job.
They think I know about ''structured'' programming, whatever that is.

Who, in their right mind, knowing what Intercal is, would admit to having
anything to do with it?

That's not quite correct - you will be fired, put in a black list and 
branded at your left shoulder with a big "I".

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.

INTERCAL is the programming language of the future.

INTERCAL is a serious international effort to unify today's most profound
insights into good language design.

INTERCAL is clear, simple and rewarding to use.

Programming in INTERCAL will give you an intimate appreciation for
  bits.  You know, those little sharp things that computers are made of.

If you've always been a little puzzled about what the XOR operator
  is good for, INTERCAL will show you.

INTERCAL has a single conditional statement.  If you look at it hard
  enough and squint your eyes just right, it looks something like a
  computed goto---though somewhat less useful.

INTERCAL has dynamically-allocated multidimensional arrays, strong
  typing, a built-in random number generator, and aesthetic style
  rules that are rigidly enforced by the compiler.

INTERCAL actually has one original operator, SELECT, which would make
  a nice addition to other languages.

Programming in INTERCAL is like climbing a vertical rock face, while
  around on the other side tourons are driving their RV's up the road
  to the T-shirt stand at the top.
