This story on /. led to the following hilarious postings:

You're looking at it the wrong way:
The way I see it, programming languages of the future aren't going to evolve from spoken language. 
Instead, the spoken languages of the future will evolve from programming languages.

In 200 years, There'll be 637 different words for "bug" in the our universal spoken language, 
ESPERA~1. To express confusion, a speaker will slap his hands over his face, stand stock still, 
shout "BLUE!", and wait for the other person to walk away. 
----------------------------------
and

'shout "BLUE!"'

I think you mean scream BLUE, as in the "Blue scream of Death".
