Mangle you, Freud!
They're having a perl (a computer language for people with social disabilities) conference over in Israel in 2006; a guy called Gabor Szabo anounced it today on the Egyptian Linux Users' Group website.
While it's nice that the Israeli perl developers are inviting Egyptians to participate, you'd think that computer nerds could keep the politics out of it. But Freud will have his way; in the announcement, Mr. Szabo invites us to "mix and mangle" (his words) with other Linux users. It's possible that he meant mingle, of course, but one never knows...
In any case it's clear that they are planning an apocalyptic scenario; conflict between Arab smelly hardcore nerds and Israeli smelly hardcore nerds. Whatever the outcome of this planned conflict, the rest of humanity stands to win.
