Once you read through all the documentation presented in the
Preparation section, you are steered to the next section. Each
successive section offers a deeper look at the code, with various
pieces of wit and humor. Later, the documentation makes an interesting
shift, "because this is in assembler rather than C, our tale switches
from prose to verse." There's a brief digression for limericks, haikus
and Heroic Verse, ultimately settling on "something between heroic
hexameter, and normal prose with inappropriate linebreaks." The humor
and wit sampled above is only a fraction of what's included, as the
documentation itself is often actually quite technical and certainly
useful.
