Now, there's a neat party trick--especially if

recite the content of K&R from memory.
Just about as cool as the engineer-pianist I once knew who could play
the entire set of Golberg Variations but only if he was drunk.
With my memory, I'd need to keep at it a lot longer. But, for years,
miscellaneous phrases would pop up, and some phrases would trigger
memories of the next sentence.
I'd rather learn and understand the content than just the wording.
But, it'd sure be fun to listen to Knuth. Start to finish!
