  • Every file starts with <?php, so you never forget which language you're writing
  • Every variable starts with $, so you always feel rich
  • It's full of surprises, like operators that sometimes return different types even when the operands are the same type
  • Calling a string with some parameters is completely valid thing to do if a function with the name of that string happens to be in scope
  • Telling people "I'm a PHP developer" is a great way to get sympathetic looks and heartfelt "thank-you for your service"s from strangers
  • If you pronounce the language name as if it's one word and say it really fast over and over again, it sounds like letting the air out of a balloon *php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php-php*
