[wp-hackers] PHP5

[Jacob Santos]

No, sir, I kindly ask that we do continue this discussion off list, so 
that I may pounce on your so called "Theology" knowledge and whatnot. 
No, sire, I do not need such things as "knowledge" and experience, 
because I know deep, deep, way deep down that my religion is right and 
every other religion is wrong. Therefore, I will say, respectfully of 
course, that the answer to how many angels fit in an wp_init action is 
zero, nada, because Angels do not exist.

Only Satan, Matt, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster exist. All other 
abnormities, religious constructs, and paranormal are like the Big Foot, 
they just don't exist no matter how often so drunk guy out in the woods 
says otherwise.

The verdict is still out on whether WordPress actually exists, or is 
some otherworldly fivth dimension being, locked in eternal conflict with 
he-who-must-not-be-named (aka Habari).

* Well, since PHP5 discussion is completely irrelevant, we might as well 
have fun with it. Right? See reason 2 in the Against list. Also, the 
answer is still zero.
