The byte for HTML forms

For computer & language geeks who don't read Language Log:
For those who are more familiar with unix system administration than with biology, calling FoxP2 "the gene for grammar" would be roughly analogous to calling (some random but crucial byte in) /usr/bin/perl "the byte for html forms".

If you think that's funny, you can subscribe to it on LJ at [livejournal.com profile] languagelog.
