The comment about archery is also a joke of some sort; Pike is a Canadian citizen who has worked in the U.S. for decades, and both Canada and the U.S. boycotted the 1980 Olympics, so you needn't go looking for the records of that year's Olympics to figure this out.
The rest of his bio appears to be true.

That it can lure talent of Pike's caliber from the venerable birthplace of the transistor is both a testament to Google's brash vision and a reflection of Lucent's bumpy fortunes.
Pike sits down with a reporter inside a gleaming white tent, erected in a cavernous glass building full of quirky angles and enormous spaces.

Rob Pike - Abstract, Department of Computer Science(Site not responding. Last check: )
Google has large amounts of data -- to index the Web, you need to have an addressable copy of it -- and many custom tools designed to operate at that scale.
I will describe that language, including its unusual model and implementation, starting from the point of view of my long-term interest in concurrent programming.
RobPike, well known for his appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman," has been a member of the Systems Lab at Google, Inc., since 2002.
That RobPike dismissed the entire question out of hand leaves me with two more possible conclusions to yours: He's pro-IP patents, but is afraid to admit to it on Slashdot, although to be fair he'd *would* get savaged in the comments.
Pike has a few misused patents to his name, and his unwillingness to answer a perfectly valid question is a good indicator of his stance on the issue.
As another poster suggested earlier, Pike really was caught between a rock and a hard place by the question: admit that he supports patents and face the wrath of the slashdot crowd or deny his past stands and expose the duplicity of his current employer.
Rob Kimm is a former instructor at the In-Fisherman's Camp Fish and former guide who now pursues muskies and pike in Ontario and Minnesota.
Rob is the featured muskie columnist for the Minnesota Outdoor News.
Recognized for his knowledge of western pike fishing, during the last two decades, Dave has been a frequent speaker for sportsman's organizations, boating and outdoor shows and many other outdoor forums.
To provide muskellunge northern pike and walleye anglers of the world with the most current and most comprehensive coverage for their sport, and provide the latest wisdom on walleye fishing from some of the top anglers in the field.
Our focus will be mainly muskellunge-based, but we will also feature trophy northern pike and walleyes.
Our magazine will strive to provide gseneral education on these fish species, promote ethical fishing and resource management, promote a strong catch and release ethic, and establish a platform to bring muskellunge, northern pike, and walleye anglers together on these common grounds.

"OO Isn't Everything," Says Unix Veteran Rob Pike @ JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL(Site not responding. Last check: )
Pike, who now works for Google, Inc., said: "I'm not much of a fan of object-oriented design," though he conceded that the future does indeed seem to have, as he puts it, "an OO hue."
Pike then went on to offer an analogy aimed at exposing the weakness of using only OO methodology in all cases:
Pike accepted that OO design is the way people are taught to think about computing these days: "I guess that's OK - the work does seem to get done, after all - but I wish the view was a little broader."
If instead they state (in comments or implicitly) what files they need to have included first, the problem of deciding which files to include is pushed to the user (programmer) but in a way that's easy to handle and that, by construction, avoids multiple inclusions.

Conjecture: The source of Pike's guideline may not have been addressing C-language per se, but rather external factors, such as the "make" program.

Date: Tue, 02 May 2000 17:47:29 +0100 From: Will Partain Some of you might be interested in RobPike's recent rant, "Systems Software Research is Irrelevant" (PostScript hanging off his home page http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/rob/ ; abstract only at http://www.cs.utah.edu/dept/dls/pike-abs.html).
A *cool* thing near the end of Pike's polemic is his observation that system administration is one sub-area where there *still is* room for good/breakthrough ideas and to make a big difference at the systems level.
