HTTP status code translated into toddler’s language
Mark Pilgrim: REST for toddlers. Yet another master piece, and this is just so funny. It will probably make more sense if you were required to design a web server or a HTTP client that uses comprehensive list of HTTP status code. Some of my favourite: 412 Precondition Failed: “If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”

best Pilgrim article ever :)
I love the REST verbs definition down the bottom:
1. “Give it here,”
2. “Here you go,”
3. “Put that thing back where it came from or so help me,” and
4. “Flush.”
