JoeHill (at least under that name) didn't make a joke (as far as I can
tell).  Unless "Oh, snap" is a joke.

I think you dreamed you saw Joe Hill last night <==== joke

Each to his own taste, but I don't care for the "humour" in this
thread.  I too side with Dave on this one.

Changing topics:

How was March 24th chosen as Ada Lovelace day?  It isn't here birth or
death day?

I don't understand calling her Ada Lovelace.  Ada, Countess of
Lovelace would seem to be her normal name.  Her name using our
conventions would be Ada King.

To reply to the original "joke", nobody with a surname of Lovelace
would have any reason to be related to a Countess Lovelace.  Titles
and surnames come from different namespaces.  I guess pornstar names
come from still another namespace.
