I'm actually Knuth's homeboy

"Oh wait, let me stand behind you. Nested Parens"
"Don, do you mind if I put this on my home page?"
"Gosh no, you're my homeboy after all!"
"Nested Parens"

(I originally shot the photo on the shirt and someone mailed it to me as a gift.)

"Why couldn't Knuth have ran for president?"

Because, as he himself says, his job is not to stay on top of things, it's to stay on the bottom of things. That's why he doesn't do email any more.
