 Richard M. Stallman, Linus Torvalds, and Donald E. Knuth engage in a
 discussion on whose impact on the computerized world was the
 greatest.

 Stallman: "God told me I have programmed the best editor in the
 world!"
 Torvalds: "Well, God told *me* that I have programmed the best
 operating system in the world!"
 Knuth: "Wait, wait - I never said that."
