5. Funny but shuoldn't it be in computers?

Then again people here are actually MORE likely to get it =3
it's better than if they did it in C

if(x>0)
{
printf("home\n");
if(sweet=true)
{
printf("sweet\n");
}
else
{
return(0);
}
x=x+1;
return(x);
}

dear sweet god i'm a geek

7. You know what's scary about this?

The implication that BASIC will still be in use in a thousand years' time.

10. It's not BASIC but I think you could reasonably translate it into LISP or forth.

Assuming it is BASIC-like, and that GOTO behaves as it does in BASIC, we really don't have to know what HOME and SWEET actually do. HOME is likely in the same functional family as GOTO because it is the same color, and SWEET is something else, but if 10, 20, and 30 are line numbers as they appear to be, then the color of the "10" in "GOTO 10" is confusing. Or else "GOTO10" simply means switch to binary input or something like that.
