[edit] The Kipple programming language

Is the reference to the esoteric programming language really relevant here? The programming language is probably only known to a handful of people worldwide, and not related to Kipple or Philip K. Dick at all (apart for the name). --Runeberge 00:07, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "I don't know, I've never kippled"

Surely the above quote has nothing to do with the sense of "kipple" being discussed here? It's simply a joke based on a deliberate mishearing of the name "Kipling" as a present participle. At least Richard Eder of the New York Times thinks it's a joke that dates back to Edwardian times... see here:[1] 143.252.80.110 17:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


The term "kipple" was introduced by Philip K. Dick. The quote was taken from another of his books. I find it pertinent to the article. User: Kipple 14 April 2006
