>Here is a site for geeks with too much time on their hands:

>http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/
>
>It contains programs to print the song "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall."
>
>Actually, it has 981 such programs, in just about every imaginable 
>computer language.  Some of them are quite clever, and make for 
>educational reading.
>
>Some are just bizarre.  The code in HQ9+ for example, is:
>    9
>HQ9+ is an odd language.  It has just four commands:  H (print "Hello 
>World"), Q (print its source code), 9 (print the 99 Bottles song) and + 
>(increment the accumulator).

>For folks who think they speak Perl, check out this one:

>Yes, it really runs.
