Hmm, PL/1.  I remeber some people telling me about the exploits they
hacked out it that.  I think I'll pass.  

I think that some people do things on computers to gross each other out
(like programming a complete OS in forth starting from only the boot
monitor on a Sun), and from what I've heard, working in PL/1 might just
fall into that category.
