Following on from everyone's awesome collection of facts, how about this one - ready for the Dev Day talk...
Jon Skeet made an application which programs and ask questions on SO itself, so he doesn't need to anymore.
People sometimes cite Jon Skeet's use of computer-generated circles as evidence of his imperfection. This is of course a silly mistake stemming from Jon's ability to draw a perfect circle freehand (video link, >1 min long, a bit on the loud side).
Jon Skeet doesn't annotate specs: the specs are written to conform to his annotations.
Jon Skeet can do this:
public void foo(){
final int notsofinalhaha = 10;
notsofinalhaha * 50; // don't even doubt that...
}
Finally, a non-tech one...
When he does push-ups (yeah he does just for fun)... he doesn't come up... actually, the Earth goes down humbly ;-)
Jon Skeet can smell new programmers.
Jon Skeet: *Sniffs the Air* New Programmers!
Hugh Everett is wrong. There is only one world and that's the one Jon Skeet chooses.
When Jon Skeet marched to the bottom of The Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, the Evil Wizard was OUT, NEVER TO RETURN. The amulet had been left on the floor with a note warning monsters not to touch it, and a profuse apology to Jon Skeet for making him go the trouble. When Jon Skeet returned to the surface, Trebor thanked Jon Skeet for retrieving the Amulet and asked Jon to keep it. Trebor then handed over all of his equipment and most of his gold to Jon.
Jon Skeet never disappoints; only disappointment gets disappointed, if Jon Skeet says so.
2454866 JDN does not mean "Julian Day Number", it means "Jon Skeet Day Number"
Each time Anders Hejlsberg prepares a draft spec for the next version of C#, he submits it to Jon Skeet for review and approval.
Jon Skeet decides when a program halts.
The concept of Ignorance itself has congealed, become corporeal and conscious just to flag all of Jon Skeet's Stackoverflow answers as offensive.
But Wisdom has responded by removing the flag and raining down a golden shower of up-votes.
John Skeet is Dr Manhatten's smarter brother!
