I'm assuming that C is the one that got its name from BCPL. If that's wrong, then only 3/4.

[whipartist]

I realized that after I'd submitted my response. I'll take 2 rather than 1.

And I'd like a bonus point for recognizing "easy as cake; piece of pie".

[songmonk]

If I take a bonus point, that brings me up to 1. That was the only thing I *did* recognize.

[chrishartman]

Hmmm, if that's it then I get 3/4 instead of the 2 I said in the poll.

[halfmoon_mollie]

oh, I've lost way more than half my mind, but I knew 3/4 of the answers

[prock]

1. Galactus
2. B++
3. The Beetles
4. Those damn laborers

How'd I do?

[cakmpls]

"C" seems a bit ambiguous; to people of my generation, at least, one of the first connotations is "the Big C," referring to cancer.

Wow, from 0/4 last time, to 4/4 this time. Easier references, or just easier for me?

I'll work harder on the jnala obscurity rating next time
