HTML+CSS is a programming language. Together they provide state and operations, making it Turing complete.
Some really early examples:
cssplay.co.uk/menu/amazing.html
cssplay.co.uk/menu/tictactoe.html

(Use previous and next for more nice demos)

I love these demos, HTML/CSS is certainly a powerful combination.
Well of course, in the article I meant "programming languages usable with a standard human brain" :p
