The parts about ASM and forward raytracing could be blamed on ignorance, 
but the WinAmp plugin, Lego brick and Shreck primitives...well, 
everything else about it gives it away as a joke, obviously enough that 
no smileys are necessary. Laughing at someone's joke isn't making fun of 
them.

This really doesn't look like it was written by some little kid. The 
vocabulary and level of knowledge really doesn't match...how many 
*adults* do you know who know about assembler, refraction, 
dodecahedrons, buckyballs, and forward vs. backwards raytracing, or use 
words like deprecated and intuitiveness?
