It is my fervent opinion that more coder-types should include "Hoon de hoon, bork bork bork" in their code.

That is all.

Last year a couple of friends from Germany asked me the names of Donald Duck's nephews, and thought I was making them up... not the names, but the fact that they're all spelled differently. :)

Huey, Dewey and Louie.

English is a crazy language.

I stand corrected - I copied those from a google hit but did not check for spelling on a Disney site. As to English spelling being weird - yes. I suspect that derives from the various sources modrern English comes from -I remember someone telling me that Knight used to be spoken Knicht ( with sopen k and a somewhat guttural ch which makes it related to German Knecht [~servant] and the spelling reasonable).

Yes, the modern English is definitely a mutt of a language, with its French, German and Spanish influences. I'm sure you'd find Swahili in there too, if Africa had invaded and/or intermarried into the UK peoples. :)
