+INTERCAL. The language designed to be Turing-complete but as
+fundamentally unlike any existing language as possible. Expressions
+that look like line noise. Control constracts that will make you gasp,
+make you laugh, and possibly make you hurl. Data structures? We don't
+need no steenking data structures!
+
+INTERCAL. Designed very early one May morning in 1972 by two hackers
+who are still trying to live it down. Initially implemented on an IBM
+360 running batch SPITBOL. Described by a manual that circulated for
+years after the short life of the first implementation, reducing
+strong men to tears (of laughter). Revived in 1990 by the C-INTERCAL
+compiler, and now the center of an international community of
+technomasochists.

+INTERCAL. Now you, too, can be a part of the madness.
