Its the Easter (egg) Isle of the internet!
C is an imperative (procedural) systems implementation language. It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support. C was therefore useful for many applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language.
Interesting.
Despite its low-level capabilities, the language was designed to encourage cross-platform programming. A standards-compliant and portably written C program can be compiled for a very wide variety of computer platforms and operating systems with few changes to its source code
Good to know.
Possibly the most useful function of c programming is the backslash n command. It has been said that the backslash n command is such an exciting topic amongst programmers that they cannot contain themselves, and several have actually exploded[citation needed].
Thats good to kn-wait what?

Totally random.
The \n command is actually the same as <br /> of HTML, FYI.
Wikipedia is usually the place I go to for regular information.
