The Don

Here's some funny facts(well they aren't facts really) I found about Donald E. Knuth. For those of you who don't know him check out his Wikipedia Article and Stanford Homepage. In short, he is Professor Emeritus and author of The Art of Computer Programming ,3 of it's volumes have been published (and can be found on the internet if you know how to dig deep, but then again don't bother because you won't understand it anyways) and he's working on the 4th one.So anyways, these are the facts that his followers/fans have written about him:

-Donald E. Knuth does not sleep. He codes.
-For Donald E. Knuth P=NP
-The dining philosophers starve until Donald E. Knuth has been served.
-Donald E. Knuth could tell you if the program is going to halt, without looking.
-When Donald E. Knuth was in his mother's womb, he wrote a program that
would count to infinity in constant time.
-Donald E. Knuth writes his books in constant time. The constant is very big.
-The travelling salesman visits Donald E. Knuth first.
-Donald E. Knuth has no need for compilers. He knows his code will run as intended.
-Donald Knuth took the blue pill.

[Paragraphs stretch their spacing when Donald E Knuth approaches.]

-When power fails VCR's clocks flash 0000. When Donald E. Knuth enters a room VCR's clocks flash 1337.

I'll have to explain the last one...Knuth sends out 2.56$ cheques to anyone who finds an error in his book.
