Chris, please stop spamming #haskell before you get your anus haxxed.
<chrisdone> OUT NOW a double album DVD; The Very Best of Simon Peyton Jones,
and , S. Marlow and Jones: The Selected Functional Works 89-98,
with all your favourite singles such as "We Put the 'Funk' in
Function" and "Glorious Glasgow Haskell Programmer part 2", "My
other car is a well typed constructor", "Bitches don't know bout
my loeb :: Functor a => a (a x -> x) -> a x", "Arrow Calculus and
The Essense of Music ft. Big P. Wadler" including live
<chrisdone> performances at Google, Glasgow, with "6th European Symposium on
Programming" (REMASTERED EDITION)! Experience well typed purely
functional imperative generic composable pattern matched parallel
programming like never before!
Incidentally, holy shit I just noticed how loeb is actually a monadic Y combinator and my head fucking blew up.

Oh God, my penis can barely contain it's excitement

If you want my theory, we're dealing with an unknown autistic artist's work. Someone lost in a period of time where autism was misunderstood and they are forever lost to anonymity except they'll get the last laugh because we'll never understand what message they were trying to get to us. And some of us might go mad spending hours and hours and hours trying to figure this out with no luck.

That was the theory that sounded the most plausible to me too, but these new leads and discoveries call for more investigation, I would say.

That's an interesting idea, with the key word being "artist". The almost complete lack of errors and corrections in the text strongly suggest that it's nonsense rather than any kind of encoded message. Considered as a weird kind of autistic art, that might be kind of cool, although by far the more likely solution is that Mat Dickie or one of his associates created the thing as a fraud to bilk gullible aristocrats or royalty (John Romero gets mentioned as a possible target, if I recall correctly.)
Never assume intelligence when venality will do, or something like that.

Come on guys! If this thread gets saged/ignored off the board, he might be in serious trouble!
