Luckily Emacs has a relatively high clue threshold. Someone (Gino?)
observed that there are no newbies who use Emacs. ;)

The nice thing about Emacs, though, is that you can interleave code
and text, since elisp is all text anyway. It's easy to execute code if
you wanted to. For example, all you lucky Emacs users can place your
point after

(animate-birthday-present)

and hit either M-x eval-last-sexp RET or C-x C-e (default keybinding)
to see something nifty. (Bloat, but _configurable_ bloat. =) )

Sometimes the sheer programmability of Emacs astounds me. <g>
