You're not kidding! 

I saved that script to a file, and look:

derek at bella:~$ egrep ^# /tmp/test | wc
      5      43     281
derek at bella:~$ egrep -v "^(#|\s*$)" /tmp/test | wc
      9      34     320

It's not even a 2:1 ratio of program lines to documentation (excluding the
shebang, and blank lines).  There are actually _more_ words of
documentation than there are of code!  It's a shocking development in the
Free Software world!!!!!!!!  (I'm not sure this keyboard has enough !s to
accurately show my astonishment).
