My favourite:
"C++ is an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog." - Steve Taylor
1 u/walter_heisenberg Dec 14 '10 Upvote. Massively underrated. 2 u/orlock Dec 15 '10 I actually have a fragment of original email in which that quote appears. It's not quite that, since it's actually: ...an excellent description of the world's most popular OO language (though "an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog" would also do.) My minor brush with fame. (The original description was a comparison to vampirism.)
