Collecting all the memorable quotes from the past 6 RMs (by Juxlos):

• "There's enough concession to geographically biased and challenged persons in this project already - the island came a long time earlier than the It term or the coffee."
• "Many Wikipedia editors are well-versed in computer technology and I expect that people who associate "Java" with the programming language are overrepresented here."
• "an island that is home to 120million people is the prime topic vs a computer language who's name is based on a nickname for coffee in turn also derived from the island."
• "admins should ban further RMs of this specific set until either everyone is a Java programmer or the island sinks into the bottom of the ocean. Hard to tell which one will happen first."
• "if hypothetically, the programming language was not called "Java", but "California", what would you suggest is the primary topic? The US State or the computer language?" (maybe it will end up as Georgia)

Oh that's brilliant. We should make it sticky...never to be archived. For the benefit of geographically and historically illiterate Java programmers to read.

That last bullet is my quote - I think I went on to point out that if Java was a country, it would be 8th largest in the world by population and California would be 38th largest.
