Oh, that's part of the "Unreleased tapes" that REM will put out
some time when they need money.

Although the line comes from a song that REM stole from the Bacon Sandwiches.
The song goes:

I ain't got no Yeti,
Don't want no cheese,
Can't find my dragon by Seti,
So go away please...

What? Me monkey around?
I'm sarcastic and in overdrive,
Anti-anything, with no bound,
In my every stride.

...

Comes from "the Purple album", named that way because Spatch said
that was the only colo[u]r that he could see for a month after
recording it.

Sigh.

--- cut here ---
#!/local/bin/perl
$x="How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?\n";
while (1) { print $x; }
--- cut here ---

This should run a bit faster.

For extra bonus marks: re-write the above perl script in Perl 5, defining
an object class ($woodchuck) and a method (&woodchuck::print).

For a real prize, re-write this algorithm in C-Intercal, using the 
optional Volapuk output module.
