Funny Programming Languages Name


1 Brainfuck
As the name , so is the craziness   
It was the invention of Urban Müller, designed to realize its implementation in the smallest possible compiler, and his master-plan came into existence in 1993. Known for its extreme minimalism, and controversial name, Bf comprises of only 8 commands +-. <>, [] and is practically useless, however recently few decoders have been designed to render it useful enough.
2 BeFunge
Originally created by Chris Pressey in 1993 extremely weird because basically the language models programs to be metric spaces attached with a co-ordinate system. One could never imagine that the instruction pointer could be even used in such an unorganized manner. What’s more it has even further developed into Befunge, and there have been several standards defined such as uni-funge for uni-dimensional and so on.
In Befunge, there is no comment syntax to embed documentation in the code, the programmer simply routes the control flow around the “comment” area, so that the text in that area is never executed.

3 Chef
Designed by David Morgan-Mar in 2002 . This language is more of a cooking recipe rather than a programming language. The variables tend to be named after basic foodstuffs, the stacks are called “mixing bowls” or “baking dishes” and the instructions for manipulating them “mix”, “stir”, etc. The ingredients in a mixing bowl or baking dish are ordered “like a stack of pancakes”.
Recipes will be metric, but may use traditional cooking measures such as cups and tablespoons.


4 Piet
Programs are bitmap graphics that look like abstract art designed by David Morgan-Mar, who also created Chef. Named after geometric abstract art pioneer, Piet Mondrian; the originally intended name, Mondrian, was already taken.
There are 20 colors for which behavior is specified: 18 “colorful” colors, which are ordered by a 6-step hue cycle and a 3-step brightness cycle; and black and white, which are not ordered. When exiting a “colorful” color and entering another one, the performed procedure is determined by the number of steps of change in hue and brightness.

5 LOLCODE
This is the height ! Actually , more than being crazy it’s very funny programming language, basically designed to amuse the users with resemblance of the speech of lolcats.

6 OMGROFL
Created in 2006 by Juraj Borza. The name comes from combining the slang “words” omg and rofl. Rofl is actually one of Omgrofl’s commands. Omgrofl is not case-sensitive, thus lol is the same as LoL. You may use this to produce “nicer” code.
Variables in Omgrofl must be a form of the slang word lol, like lol, lool, loool, looool, etc.

7 Velato
This one is for the music lovers, as Velato makes use of MIDI files as the input, with each command being determined by the interval between successive notes. Intended to allow for flexibility in composition, so functional programs will not necessarily sound like random notes.
Of course, like all MIDI files, Velato programs can also be represented as sheet music. Pictured above is sheet music – which you can listen to here.

8 Shakespeare
As it sounds, the language has been deliberately tweaked to frame programs resemble the plays of Shakespeare .
It was designed by Jon Åslund and Karl Hasselström. Like Chef , it is designed to make programs appear to be something other than programs; in this case,  Shakespearean plays.
The first line in a Shakespeare program is called the “title” and acts as a comment.
The “Dramatis Personae” is the section where variables are declared.
Each variable name must be the name of a character from a Shakespeare play.
A piece of code in Shakespeare is broken into “Acts”, which contain “Scenes”, in which characters (variables) interact.
Each Act and Scene is numbered with a roman numeral and serves as a GOTO label.
Hello World in Shakespeare

9 Whitespace
Designed in 2002, by Edwin Brady and Chris Morris, is an esoteric programming language that uses only whitespace characters as syntax. When it was released on April 1st, 2003, most people took it as an April Fools’ joke, which it wasn’t.
One of the most idiotic ones, which comprises of just the letter A, accompanied by commas, spaces and exclamations! It takes just the whitespaces into account, ignoring the non-whitespaces


10 Intercal
Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym, INTERCAL was the end result of exceptional work by James M. Lyon and Donald R. Woods, who came up with a programming language in 1972, which was totally different from all other programming languages.
The full name of the compiler is ‘Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym,’ which is, for obvious reasons, abbreviated ‘INTERCAL’. Common operations in other languages have cryptic and redundant syntax in INTERCAL.
You can’t make head or tail out of it, except the binary numbers .

10 Most Popular Once In Life Time Experience



1. Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany
Oktoberfest is possibly the most famous beer festival in the world.  The festival is the world’s largest fair, with over 6 million visitors attracted to the beer tents every year. But it is more than just large quantities of Bavarian Beer, lederhosen and beer halls.

Whilst Munich offers the famous steins (the drinking tankards) and German sausages, the true enjoyment factor comes from the generous German hospitality. Sitting amongst the locals you can chat and sing along to traditional German songs, all performed by Oompha Bands who perform to a crowd of thousands of happy drinkers, who in return cheer them on.

2. Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Fringe Festival has had a history of finding the comedians of the future. Many of the current British stars have emerged through the festival which has a knack for discovering and promoting fresh talent.

Edinburgh is a city with a great atmosphere which is further enhanced during the festival. During this time the city is rife with street acts and performers. It is an energetic place that is guaranteed to excite.

As for the Scottish people, they are friendly and hearty, and have an affinity for good humor and alcohol, two of the main themes of the festival. Whilst in Edinburgh embrace the culture and try their national dish of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties (Sheep’s offal, parsnips and potatoes).

3. Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Rio Carnival has become synonymous with Brazil. Our perception of Brazilians seem to stem from this energetic, free-spirited parade. The colorful event is celebrated all over the country but Rio’s remains the biggest and most spectacular.

With the famous parades displaying a spectacular array of shapes and colors, the beat and energy of this event naturally encourages anyone who attends to throw themselves full-heartedly into the spirit of the Carnival. Recently voted the happiest city, it is easy to see why the people of Rio de Janeiro hold the most vibrant and famous of carnivals.

4. New Year Celebrations in Sydney Harbor, Australia
Possibly the best place to see in the New Year, the world famous fireworks display from the Sydney Harbour Bridge is now an iconic view just as much as the opera house that sits opposite.

The energetic personalities of the Australians, coupled with a great setting and climate, ensure you have the best New Year party possible. The crowds on the shore give the evening a electrifying atmosphere, however if you want to get a different perspective consider spending the evening on the water, with boats to hire or cruises to indulge in you can have a truly memorable occasion and get away from the crowded shoreline.

5. Boryeong’s Mud Festival on Daecheon Beach, South Korea
The Mud Festival in Boryeong, on Daecheon Beach, is an event which allows the most mature person to embrace their inner child. Rebelling against the famous maternal saying, “don’t get your clothes dirty”, this festival encourages smearing mud all over yourself.

You can equally justify your submersion into this culture of mud through the participants claim that the mud contains important minerals which reduce wrinkles and remove excess oils. Also, as any of you spa regulars will know, mud baths enhance blood circulation and encourage fresh skin growth.

Needless to say the modern day festival doesn’t revolve so much around well-being. There are competitive events including mud body painting, mud beauty contests and mud sculptures, though I imagine that all entrants into the sculpture event would resemble something from ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’.

6. Full Moon Party on Haad Rin Beach in Koh Phangan, Thailand
Haad Rin Beach is located in Koh Phangan, and has earned its reputation as the hot spot for hedonistic nightlife in Thailand, due to the fact that a party is held every time there’s a full moon. It is rumored that the Full Moon Party tradition started with a local throwing a farewell party for his Australian friend.

It proved to be such a popular concept that it now attracts anything from 8,000 to 30,000 party-goers every month. This is hardly surprising due to the white sandy beach setting, alcohol by the bucket and an amicable, bohemian attitude shared by all.

7. Chinese New Year in Hong Kong, China
The Chinese New Year is a lively affair where millions fill the streets to celebrate peace and happiness. It generally starts with a banquet which includes significant dishes, for instance prawns represents liveliness and happiness, whilst traditionally red clothing is also worn as this is intended to warn off any evil spirits.

In Hong Kong a spectacular fireworks display lights up the evening sky, and for New Years Day there are floats and traditional performers complimented by music and dragon dancers. Victoria Harbor, with its world-famous skyline, lends itself to the ideal backdrop for experiencing this oriental event which is steeped in heritage and a must-see!

8. The Festival of Light in Amritsar, Punjab, India
The Festival of Light, Diwali to the indigenous people, marks the commencement of the New Year for Hindus. This five day festival celebrates good over evil, light over dark. Each day of the festival brings its own meaning. The third day is where the ‘Festival of Light’ title has emerged as lamps and candles are lit, and fireworks are set off. Traditionally gifts are exchanged between the nearest and dearest.

Diwali is a celebratory event which demonstrates the warm and considerate nature of an entire culture. Amritsar, where the Golden Temple is located, is a great place to witness the third day of Diwali. The Temple is a site to behold on its own, although is enhanced to a phenomenal spectacle during the Festival of Light where you can experience a foreign culture at its best.

9. The Burning Man Festival in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA
The Burning Man is an annual event which places emphasis on community, creativity and self-reliance. The community turn up and create ‘Black Rock City’ which lasts for one week, after that the ‘citizens’ are proud to depart without a trace.

The community welcome all newcomers with open arms. Their ethos believes that the more active the participant is the more they will gain from the event.

This is a surreal phenomenon which sees the birth of a city and community, in a peculiar location, only to be returned to its original form just seven days later. This festival is all about the experience and to truly benefit from it you must throw yourself wholeheartedly into it.

10. The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain
Known to the locals as The Festival of San Fermin, due to the location. This internationally recognized event has grown massively since its believed origins back in the 13th century, and now attracts tens of thousands who wish to run with the bulls.

The running of the bulls allegedly originated from men using fear and excitement to hurry the process of taking cattle to market, although this quickly turned into a competition amongst them. Nowadays though the event is a lot more organised and isn’t just limited to farmers, in fact thousands now run through a barricaded course being chased by a thundering herd of bulls!

Not Released Movies (Banned)


1. The Exorcist
 

The Exorcist was released theatrically in 1973. The film has since had an overwhelming effect on popular culture and has been described by some as the scariest horror movie of all time. It is also one of the highest grossing movies of all time, earning $441million worldwide. The Exorcist was banned in many individual towns and countries for being horrifyingly scary, and in some cases for religious reasons. The film affected many audiences so strongly that, at many theaters, paramedics were called to treat people who fainted and others who went into hysterics. In the UK, The Exorcist wasn’t available until 1990, when it passed the British Board of Film Censorship (BBFC) with an 18 rating.

The Exorcist tells the story of a young girl who becomes possessed by a demon. The events surrounding the girl’s behavior and subsequent exorcism make up the main plot line. Unlike other items on this list, excessive violence is not a contributing factor to its banned status. The Exorcist is a psychological thriller and uses a clever plot and even subliminal messaging to terrify audiences.

2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

 

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre  was banned outright in many countries, and numerous cinemas stopped showing the film after receiving complaints about the nature of extreme violence. The film was marketed as a true story to attract a wider audience, though the plot is entirely fictional. In reality the film was inspired by the crimes of notorious serial killer, Ed Gein, who famously collected tokens from his victims, such as nipples, skin masks and heads, and kept them in his house.

The film revolves around five friends visiting their Grandpa’s old house, who are systematically chased down and murdered by a masked chainsaw-wielding killer and his family of cannibals. Despite the film’s initial poor critical reception at the time of its release, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre became the highest grossing independent film of all time, for a short time. It is widely considered as one of the most influential horror movies in cinema history, and a pioneer in the “slasher” genre. The movie established power tools as a popular murder weapon in horror flicks, and also a killer depicted as large, burly, and faceless.

3. Cannibal Holocaust



 Cannibal Holocaust is an Italian horror film that is banned to this day in over fifty countries. Upon it’s release, director Ruggero Deodata was arrested and charged with murder, after rumors suggested Cannibal Holocaust was a snuff film, though he was later cleared of all charges. The movie was filmed in the Amazon rainforest and features real members of indigenous tribes.

The plot consists of the search for a documentary film crew who had gone to film indigenous tribes and been missing for two months. A second team sent on a rescue mission recovers their lost cans of film and learns their fate. Seven animals were killed in the making of the film. An example includes a scene where a squirrel monkey was decapitated, and tribe members proceed to devour its brain. Cannibal Holocaust also involved scenes of graphic murder, including impalement of several characters. It is regarded as one of the most sickening and graphic films in existence.

4. The Evil Dead



The Evil Dead narrates the horrifying story of five college students vacationing in an isolated cabin in a wooded area. Their vacation becomes gruesome when they find an audiotape that releases evil spirits. The low-budget slasher movie was very well-received by critics and successful at the box office, and a cult following has emerged in recent years.

Because of its graphic violence and terror, The Evil Dead is banned in several countries, including Finland, Germany, Iceland and Ireland. Perhaps the most disturbing scene is when a young woman is raped by a tree possessed by an evil spirit. This scene in particular has been heavily criticized for being perverse and misogynistic, despite the film’s overall critical success. Graphic scenes of dismemberment are also shown, as well as various torture scenes.


5. Natural Born Killer



 
Natural Born Killers was released in 1994, directed by Oliver Stone. The film was a spec-screenplay written by Quentin Tarantino, who based the movie on the lives of Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate; two lovers who embarked on a vicious murder spree. The movie was banned completely in Ireland, and denied distribution in the USA. Stone later cut approximately four minutes of footage, resulting in the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) allowing its distribution.

The film is extremely controversial as it glorifies acts of murder, with the notorious killers appearing on magazine covers and T-shirts in various scenes, almost like regular celebrities with fans. There are also some confirmed copycat murders. The most famous of which is the Columbine High School massacre. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered twelve people during a rampage, whilst reportedly shouting quotes from the movie. They also wore clothes during the massacre similar to Mickey Knox in the opening scene of the movie.

6. A Serbian Film



 
Banned in Spain, Norway and Brazil, A Serbian Film is arguably one of the most controversial films of all time. Contributing factors of the ban were scenes of child rape, incest and murder, among others. A Serbian Film received mixed reviews from critics; some of which condemned the film for it’s extreme sexual violence. The plot revolves around an aging porn star, who agrees to participate in one last film in order to make a clean break from the business, only to discover that he has been drafted into making a pedophilia themed snuff film, from which there is no escape.




7. Scum




Scum is the hard and shocking story of life in a British Borstal for young offenders during the 1970s. The film was originally banned completely from television because of its graphic   depictions of racism, gang rape, suicide and violence. It was, however, remade entirely in 1979, with the newer version starring a young Ray Winstone in his breakthrough role, as Carlin. The remade version was also banned, though eventually a court case concluded that Scum should remain distributable in the UK. The newer version of Scum received good reviews from critics, and was praised for its accurate depiction of a brutal borstal regime.

 


The actual regime in borstals at the time involved little or no rehabilitation, with many boys being savagely beaten by wardens much older than themselves. The inmates survived by adopting a dog-eat-dog mentality, and the film brilliantly portrays this through Winstone’s character, as he rises to the top of the pecking order and becomes the “Daddy”. The scene above shows Carlin as he asserts his authority and takes over leadership of the borstal.

8. The Human Centipede 2

If you have ever seen or heard of the first human centipede movie, you shouldn’t be surprised that it barely avoided being banned in many countries. The central plot line involves a mad Dutch scientist who kidnaps a trio of American tourists and surgically stitches them together, mouth to anus. The movie has been heavily criticized for showing no attempt to portray any of the victims in the film as anything other than objects to be brutalized, degraded and mutilated for the amusement and arousal of the central character, as well as for the pleasure of the audience.

The sequel is due to be released in October, 2011, but has been denied a classification for distribution in the United Kingdom. Director Tom Six has stated that “the sequel contains much more blood and faces than the original”, and also that “[the movie] makes the first film look like My Little Pony in comparison”. The new film also contains a larger centipede involving twelve people and involves graphic rape and masturbation scenes. The trailer above is for the original Human Centipede.

9. Mikey

 Upon release in 1992, Mikey was banned in many countries and is still banned today in the UK. Many graphic scenes of torture and murder contributed to the ban, as well as the James Bulger murder of 1993, when two young children tortured and murdered a toddler. The film narrates the life of Mikey Holt; a sociopathic nine year old who horrifically murders his foster parents and friends. Many of his carers seem to die in “accidents”, causing Mikey to move from family to family. The plot of the film mostly covers Mikey’s attempts to avoid suspicion, by killing people who he suspects to know about his murderous tendencies.


10. Grotesque

 
Grotesque is a 2009 Japanese splatter horror. The story follows the lives of a young couple who are snatched off the streets whilst on their first date, and are subjected to horrific torture by their insane kidnapper. Because of extremely disturbing footage, including eye gouging and amputation scenes, Grotesque is banned in many countries, including the UK. The film has been criticized for involving little narrative or character development, unlike successful splatter horrors such as Hostel or Saw. As a result the film received generally poor reviews from most critics, and was a commercial failure.

Top 10 Strange Ways To Get Over A Hang Over

1. Almonds:
Ted Pollard of Health911 believes that almonds prevent individuals from hangovers. The goal is to eat a few almonds before going for drinks. It will not help those who feel the aftereffects after.

2. Prickly Pears Cactus:
Eating one will eliminate nausea, inflammation and bloating people feel after a night out drinking. You may want to keep one or two inside the house if you are a regular.



3. Water:
Many people who feel hung-over feel they cannot eat or drink. Not drinking is a big mistake. When you are hung-over, you tend to dehydrate. The more you drink, the more soothe.

4. Pickle juice and canned fish:
This is what Russians and the Polish used to do in the morning after. It is known as the remedy for the “dog that bit you”.

5. Mongolian Mary:

Germans love to eat herring with onions to decrease effects of hangovers. They call this dish the rollmops.

9. Egg:
Eggs have antioxidants that are good for the body. The liver which is affected by alcohol consumption uses the antioxidants to get itself into good condition again. Raw eggs are better, so drink up.

10. Bloody Mary:
I saw this appear a couple of times in my research. Many say that if you drink more of this than you will get rid of hangovers. But, Blood Mary is alcoholic. I wonder how it would help. Any ideas?

10 Reasons To Avoid The Marriage

1. Your expenses will shoot up 
Blame inflation. Everything, including the price of alcohol has doubled in less than four years. It's hard enough for you to buy yourself a superbike, or Chanel clutch. How are you supposed to keep your spouse happy? There is the advantage of double income, but it will have its own restraints, such as buying a bigger house, more birthday and anniversary celebrations, planning for pregnancy, etc. Footing the bill for all this means spending your precious youth behind an office desk. Money is the root of all evil; for certain of most divorces. So enjoy your disposable income as long as you can. 

2. You have to compromise 
Compromise is an agreement reached by mutual adjustment and its impossible to make a marriage run without it. It starts with small things - which movie to watch, what to cook for dinner or who gets charge of the remote control. Then there are the larger issues - where to go for a holiday, which set of in-laws get to stay for how long, where to live... etc. Most of your energies will be spent on finding a peaceful balance and maintaining it. Enjoy your freedom by watching a movie you want, at home, in your underwear, with messy snacks on your bed. 

3. You can't be adventurous 
Today you feel like getting off the treadmill and heading to Chicago to study photography. Or quit your job as a banker and become a sports journalist. You can't do that when you have a family to support and EMIs to pay. But you can do it as a single (wo)man because you are the only one who will have to bear the consequences. In a marriage, everything will have to be a mutual decision as your actions will directly affect your spouse's life, money and future. Marriage might ground you, but it could also hold you back from spontaneous living. 

4. Bye-bye buddy 
Weekends will be spent doing long-pending chores, and you'll probably socialise only with other couples. That mean booze parties with friends will be far and few in between. Think of your married friends. When was the last time all of you cut loose? There is nothing more annoying than the friend who spends half the evening on the phone, whispering to his/her "baby" and giving them kosher updates about the evening. That is, if you get let off the leash to go out in the first place. 

5. Twice as much housework 
Think cleaning, washing, cooking, shopping, dusting and more. Every weekend will be spent in the supermarket buying groceries and household supplies. And married couples tend to be house-proud, so less clothes and gadgets; more matching curtains and cushion covers. 
Celebrate your single-dom by dumping the towel on the bed, socks on the floor and shoes kicked off all over the room. 

6. Good sex will be history 
If you think that marriage means sex-on-tap, take a good look around. Is that dazed, bored look in the eyes of couples in the mall a sign of gregarious sex? After you have been married for a while, sex starts to feel like bland curry. You do it in the same place, in the same position and for the same amount of time. It turns mechanical, and experimenting might be too much trouble. The most you can do is start fantasizing. 

7. The in-laws are free 
Remember how tough it was living with parents who wanted to know about everything you did and wanted to tell you how to do everything? Why would you voluntarily go out and get another set of those? At least with your parents, you can stomp up a tantrum or two and they will forgive you. With your in-laws, this will only lead to prolonged silent treatment and emotional drama on the scale of an Ekta Kapoor production. 

8. Make Your Parent Bankrupt
Marriages are too expensive :(
Need To Spend too much $ just to feed relatives (Most of them you are seeing first time) and show off.

Save This Money and enjoy


9. Marriage can mean career slavery
A Well known fact :p

10. Cheating
If a married man cheats, he’s the scum of the earth. He is a selfish jerk that has jeopardized the family unit, done his ‘thinking with his little head’, and disrespected his wife and children. However, when the woman cheats, she’s portrayed as the victim of an insensitive and inattentive husband. “Poor thing, he ignores her. All these things are after effect of marriage.
