The GPL licensed WASTE source code if anyone wants to take a peek.

We used WASTE in college. At the time I looked through the code and I'm 99% sure there was an Edgar Allan Poe easter egg related to "quote the raven" in there.

> "quote the raven"

Are you sure you're not thinking of “whip the llama”? Specifically, on its ass?

It was 10 years ago but I'm very sure it was "quote the raven", "whip the llama" is too funmy for me to not remember if that has been it. I searched the source and didn't see it but can't find a source control system copy to search over all the history.
