[edit] link to chicken disambiguation page

I don't think there is any need. It's not like you can get to this page by accident looking for some other thing called chicken. Maybe I'm missing something? --MarSch 10:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MTA song

apparently it is relevant, unfortunately it isn't immegdiately clear why. Could someone make this clear? --MarSch 10:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

From the "Popular culture" section:

The computer scientist Henry Baker references the song in his paper CONS Should Not CONS Its Arguments, Part II: Cheney on the M.T.A., which describes a way of implementing Cheney's algorithm using C functions that, like Charlie, never return.

Yes, it took me a minute of two to see how apposite this was to Chicken's implementation of Scheme. This only dawned after I had removed it from the article. --Tony Sidaway 11:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
