- Lambada Lambda Lama Calculus was first proposed as a formal study in Mathematics by Aldous Huxley in 1895. While tripping on mushrooms one afternoon, Huxley and his colleagues at Stanford University were deep in a discussion on the relative merits of wasting time. It occurred to him that there must be a relationship between the states of usefulness and uselessness, or functional and functionless states, to use the formal language he later developed. The computational methods and mathematical architectures Huxley developed to quantify gits became what is today called Lambda Calculus, a variant of the File:Kappa.png calculus. One might think that a deeper grasp of the word "Lambda" would help towards better comprehending the concept of Lambda Calculus. “When it comes to lexicon terminology the word "lambada" is associated with the act of brawling using clubs. Some associate it with the word "Lombada" which means bump, others with "Lombo" which means loin. There are also others that regardless of any dictionary references freely associate the word with the wavelike motion of a whip.” ~ Wikipedia on the lexicography of the word "Lambada" "Lambda" However, one would be wrong, except that computer scientists are known to enjoy "brawling with clubs". This is because Lambda, in addition to being a style of dance, is the little-known 43rd letter of the Greek alphabet. Delusional computer scientists have been using the term to represent a constant variable which is related to "recursion", or doing the same thing over and over again for no good reason. In the social sciences, recursion refers to personalities who perpetuate moronic behavior throughout their lives never actually achieving worthwhile goals (otherwise known to the layman as a "loser"). In philosophy, this is called "Existentialism". Uncyclopedia would list this under Emo. Mathematically speaking, recursion has a technical meaning which classifies permutations hierachically in calling stacks, or when using Microsoft products, with handles that only pull from the inside.
- Lambda Calculus (also known as λ-calc) is a way of expressing abstract functions. It was invented by Alonzo Church in the 1930s. It has many uses in computer programming, especially in languages like Python
