Strangely a student of mine sent me this today morning -- something
I had written in an email perhaps a decade ago...
--------------------------------------

In the beginning there was the List
And the List was Program
And Program was Data
And McCarthy saw this, that it was good and called it Lisp

And then men saw this One World (footnote no women then) and decided that
"data is objects" whereas "programs are almost like us"
And they became afraid
And they decided to build a tower of the kind that had never been built
before -- a tower of types.
