It's a joke, and it's been going on for a *very* long time :-)

Every time someone mentions hal, and it doesn't matter what it's about, eit=
her=20
me or Neil will usually post and and tell Dale now is his chance to tell us=
=20
about hal. We've done this about 100 times by now so nothing Dale says
is new :-) And everyone else usually joins in the fun.

Sometimes, just for fun, we'll turn the hal joke into something against per=
l,=20
or python or anything else really.

If you don't get the joke, you can ignore everything that happened after th=
e=20
first person mentioned "Dale"
