  2003 - A drunken Martin Odersky sees a Reese's Peanut Butter
  Cup ad featuring somebody's peanut butter getting on 
  somebody else's chocolate and has an idea. He creates Scala, 
  a language that unifies constructs from both object oriented 
  and functional languages. This pisses off both groups and 
  each promptly declares jihad.
Nice take:-)
