"Ahoy! We have come to your land to spread the word!"

"Oh man - not another one of these Jesus freaks again."

"No, no, no. We've come to spread the gospel of Middleware!"

"Is Middleware food?"

"No."

"We need food."

"Middleware!".

"Food!"

"Who needs food when you've got EXTREME PROGRAMMING!??"

"Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night, he can join us in our quest for MIDDEWARE."

"Well, I'll ask 'im, but I don't think 'e'll be very keen-- 'e's already got some, you see?"

"What?"

"He says they've already *got* some!"

"Are you *sure* he's got some?"

"Oh yes, it's ver' naahs."

A bit of trivia: this conference takes place at INRIA-Rocquencourt, a computer science (and applied maths) research center housed in a former US army base near a freeway north of Versailles. 30 minutes from Paris? Yes, with a car... don't expect to reach the darn place in 30 minutes by public transportation! :-)
