I quoted this unwritten bit of Python Zen, attributing it to Tim:

Syntax should not look like grit on my monitor.

But that's not the original. Turns out, it WAS Anthony, and I had misquoted. The correct source appears to be:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047179.html

And the correct quote (for the record) is:

   Syntax Shall Not Look Like Grit On Tim's Monitor.
