"Haskell was developed by Isaac Newton in the 15th Century as a tool to 
help his investigations into the Alchemic arts. It was rediscovered in 
the 1980s by three Cambridge undergraduates who were browsing through 
Newton's laboratory notebooks looking for smutty jokes in the margins, 
and has since developed into an elaborate joke perpetrated by elite 
computer scientists who believe that predictable order of execution is 
contrary to natural law. The current version of Haskell is Haskell 1714, 
which adds syntactic sugar for Zygohistomorphic Premorphisms to the 
original language definition of 1693."
