The Row Boat

"Had we but world enough, and time..." *

The new pope has been chosen, the former (and a bit infamous) Cardinal Ratzinger, the now Benedict XVI...

The Wikipedia article on him mentions that among Benedict's ten languages is C++, which is one of the major computer programming languages. I suppose this is pretty admirable. There aren't many 77-year old ecclesiastical leaders who can program machines, I would guess. I wonder what he does with it.

Bless us, nevertheless.

C++ a hoax? - 4/22/2005 14:39:01

Since, the Wikipedia article has dramatically expanded and the little mention about C++ is gone. I haven't been able to confirm this anywhere, so I assume it was probably some nonsense somebody put up. In any event, it was a nice thought.
