I must say that I don't really get the joke with FORTH, or with Smalltalk 
(assuming that's peewee herman or something?)  The others were quite amusing.

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?

Looks like Bill Nye (keeps with the rest of the chart generally pairing 
similar characters...in this case, SCIENCE! dudes)

It's the Unabomber, right?  A lone guy all alone fighting the tech 
world?  sounds kinda fitting... :P

yeah, I don't get that either.  I liked the borg for Clojure (CL'ers are 
in deep hate for it right now) and Doc Brown the stereotypical mad 
scientist for Haskell. :D

I've worked with a few languages that are so obscure that the only 
appropriate image would be a black box (Coursewriter, anyone? No? Providex? 
Hmm? Ah well...)

They missed the language that I use most at work these days, though 
(VB.NET). From discussions I've had with other programmers who don't use it 
(and don't know what it is, because they can't get past the "B" word), I 
think one of these might be the preferred image:

It's a measure of time travelling through monads.

  (It's a pitty I can't find the full resolution version of that image.
It's much clearer.)
