In the April 1988 issue of DefenseScience, page 30, a large contractor is
advertising job openings, including:

  "Must be acknowledged expert in Ada community with advanced degrees,
   minimum of 10 years Ada experience, and professionally published in Ada
   field"

Ok, I give up.  How does one get 10 years of Ada experience, since by 
definition, Ada only exists after Feb 17, 1983, and validated compilers
(by definition, the only real compilers) did not exist until later.  Even
the prelanguage was July 1980.  

Or is this a subtle April fool's joke?
