I filed the PR that Tim took that 10 item version from. I took the copy
of the 12 item list that has been floating around and "tuned it up" a
little. A couple of the lines in that file were essentially redundant. I
also changed the order to put it in more of a David Letterman format,
and added one joke to make it an even 10. All that said, my feelings
won't be hurt if you use the "original" version, I just think mine's
funnier. :)
FWIW, I also mailed Tim privately that I thought the "small values of
two" joke is funnier the way it was as well. Mostly because it reminds
me of one of my college professors who had a unique talent for giving
the most essential element of whatever we were studying in the last
sentence of a long paragraph.
