Having done most of my programming either in assembly or APL, C is a new
beastie to me.  So I find myself at a complet loss when references are
made to some beastie known (to some) as BCPL.

What in the %$#@%$#^ is BCPL?  Bad C Programming Language?
                        ^^^^   ^   ^ ^           ^
			       Bugger C as a Programming Language?
			       ^      ^      ^           ^
			       Better C than aPL?
			       ^      ^       ^^
Come on, let us virgins in on the secret!
