snake, especially by a guy who claims to prefer an language named
after a fish :-)

...Python FAQ 1.16.

"Do I have to like "Monty Python's Flying Circus"?"=

"No, but it helps. Pythonistas like the occasional reference to SPAM (= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28Monty_Python%29),= and of course, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition..."
