Today I got a lot of problems done...all in languages that were actually designed for humans. I am starting to read the documentation for INTERCAL, a pretty infamously horrendous language for programming in...hopefully I will get a solution done in that language by the end of the week.
The feature of INTERCAL that I so far find the most ridiculous - for code to be executed, it can be put in a DO command or a PLEASE DO command - the two are the same, but if you have too many more DOs than PLEASE DO's, than your program will get a compile-time error for being impolite, and if you have too many PLEASE DO's, than your program gets an error for being obnoxious / too polite.
