Python conference slogan

[Shane Hathaway]

Here's a Python slogan suggestion by Ken Manheimer.

One Nation Under Under Python

I thought it was pretty funny. I don't know if international folks will
get it, though. :-)

I don't know if anyone else will think it's funny...

With the derivation of Python's name from Monty Python's Flying Circus
it seems natural that a recognizable quote from those grand comedians
would fit well. Clearly, there is no shortage of humorous quotes from them.

If they don't, we just send in troops to explain it
to them, right?

I surrender immediately and have to admit that I don't get it (One
Nation Under Under Python). Google was no help. I couldn't find the
source, only echoes (seems to be a wide spread joke pattern in the
US). Care to give us ignorants a hint?

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,

It's from the Pledge of Allegiance:

I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The "under under" part of course refers to Python's special methods.

See also http://history.vineyard.net/pledge.htm

IIRC, there's currently a court case to remove the "under God" part.

In the litigious US, court cases for everything are unceasing. What
I suspect you have in mind is a Supreme Court hearing for a father
who, if I understand correctly, claims his religious freedom as an
atheist unconstitutiona lly impaired because of a requirement imposed
by the public school his daughter attends that she recite The Pledge

More background appears at <URL: http://slate.msn.com/id/2067499/ >.

Without following the links to verify, I'll just note (since I
was reading this on the subway while heading for the PyCon venue)
that the recitation is apparently not even mandatory (for the girl)
but the father was objecting that she would even have to stand
there and listen to it. (I don't know what the "rules" say, but
the school representative said the girl didn't even have to say
the pledge.)

Yeah, as an Englishman, I don't get it either (despite living in the US).

Is it some sort of Bush/Iraq joke again (Americans are obsessed with them)?

What about, "Don't be constricted by Java, try Python"?
