Both of these have rubbed in to me that Python's iteration construct
sucks, BTW.  :-)

for x in range(500): print "I will not throw paper aeroplanes in class."
# (The Pythons would never have used a Merkin word like "airplane")

But it's better than in Haskell:
	write_lines 0 = return ()
	write_lines n = do putStr "I will not throw paper aeroplanes in class.\n"
	                   write_lines (n-1)
	main = write_lines 500
