Beautiful!  

My favorite:  "It is a syntax error to write FORTRAN while not wearing a blue tie."

My favourite is

"1964 - John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz create BASIC, an unstructured
programming language for non-computer scientists.

1965 - Kemeny and Kurtz go to 1964."

Odd...  I've never known a FORTRAN programmer to wear a tie of any color, though many of them I have known did have a pocket protector full of pens and mechanical pencils...

Pocket protector would be a FLOOVEMAT.

Mechanical pencil I'm guessing would be a SENDABORT.
