'''A more interesting way to get the lyrics to "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall", in Python.
Is this considered cheating?'''

I beleive this is not cheating.
OK. 10 for uber-geekness. 1 for utility. I'm kicking the tires on scripting languages right now. I've been an OO Java developer for 10 years (since 1.1.3beta) but the weakest link in my tool box is lack of a scripting language. So looking at this side-by-side with Ruby, Groovy, et al. does me no good.
