Sounds like we should have a Paul Graham Facts, like Chuck Norris.

Paul Graham's so smart that inside his brain is another brain.

Paul Graham once matched /(x+x+)+y/ in logarithmic time.

NP-complete problems are for sissies. Paul Graham can solve any problem in the Arithmetic Hierarchy in O(1).

Matematicians searching for P=NP or P!=NP proof should wait until Paul Graham decides which of these statements is true.

It's a little known fact that the P in P=NP actually stands for Paul Graham.

All lambda expressions terminate in logarithmic time when evaluated in Paul Graham order.

Paul Graham is so good, he yelled at the hackernews server and it fixed itself.

Paul Graham is so good, he does not recurse. He uses the y combinator - in Continuation Passing Style - with both hands tied behind his back.
Re:YC News Unavailable... by eru on Friday September 28, 2007 @08:05PM (#60893)
What's so bad about the y combinator?
