The INTERCAL Reference Manual contains many paradoxical, nonsensical, or otherwise humorous instructions:
Caution! Under no circumstances confuse the mesh with the interleave operator, except under confusing circumstances!The manual also contains a "tonsil", as explained in this footnote: "4) Since all other reference manuals have Appendices, it was decided that the INTERCAL manual should contain some other type of removable organ."
The INTERCAL manual gives unusual names to all non-alphanumeric ASCII characters: single and double quotes are "sparks" and "rabbit ears" respectively. (The exception is the ampersand: as the Jargon File states, "what could be sillier?") The assignment operator, represented as an equals sign (INTERCAL's "half mesh") in many other programming languages, is in INTERCAL a left-arrow, <-, referred to as "gets" and made up of an "angle" and a "worm".
