And rolling around behind it is a smaller ball called M.

Don't forget the centipede crawling around in the sewer pipes named Fortran. We've all been trying to kill it for years and yet, somehow, it keeps going.

I honestly figured Fortran was still somewhere above M.

Jokes aside, I encounter Fortran in the applied physics community still fairly often. And have never encountered M in a professional context.
