Is HTML a language like san scrit?

I've just put nearly 5 hours worth of the band Fear Factory into my computer. Fear Factory meld all out thrash metal with the sounds of both techno and industrial music. They're a very cool band who I've been into for a good ten years now after I saw them live opening for Iron Maiden at a local concert club. Very powerful, yet also harmonic. If you need your ears to bleed, check them out.

I've been traversing the web recently, trying to play the search engine game with the term "geeks". Since I consider myself to be one, I try and find websites run by like-minded individuals. Sadly, I'm coming up with a lot of sites for strictly "computer geeks". Though I consider myself a geek through a lot of my interest levels (Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, video games, etc.), I'm not that gifted in the inerworkings of computers. Sure, I can get around a PC and manage folders like nobody's business, but when it comes to DOS Prompts, HTML, writing code and the rest of the computer science world, I'm quite a dullard.

Subjects like science and math were always troublesome subjects for me in school. When the teacher of my geometry class, which I was failing horribly, told us that if we liked the geometry class we would LOVE the high school's computer class, I made sure not to enroll. This was back in the day of Amiga computers with the small black and green screens and everything had to be operated by DOS promts.

Once computers had operating systems installed on them and became user friendly to the rest of us, I started enjoying them. But, I have no clue as to how the flippin' work or how to manipulate the innerworkings of one. And I really don't know if dropping 4K to take a bunch of accelerated courses I'd surley not be able to keep up with is in my imeadiate future.

Now that I'm WAY off topic here, I might as well continue that tradition. Is anyone else not shocked that Michael Jackson got off scott free? C'mon, haven't you figgured out the formula yet... Big Celeb + Crime Committed + Big Money + Big Lawyers = Not Guilty. And how about that sickening Tom Cruise / Katie Holmes, Scientology love fest. Blech, get a room with the aliens already, would ya!

I'm getting all grumpy. Better get off the net.
