This crowd should be familar with rule 34: http://xkcd.com/305/

That guy should pay more attention when I'm coding!

I hope this isn't the start of a new trend…

Wolfram's rule 34?

For what it's worth: http://atlas.wolfram.com/01/01/34/

It's too early in the morning for Rule #34.

Speaking of which, what the hell is this octopus doing to my refrigerator?

Wolfram's Rules are, as I understand it, a sequential enumeration of cellular automata. Rule 110 was found to be universal -- i.e. it could be used to implement a Turing-equivalent machine as the narrator of the comic does. "Rule 34" is a 4chan meme.

How do I program rule 110 in Python? It shouldn't be too hard, right?
