WARNING: PLEASE USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION! CONTENTS MAY BE FUNNY BUT NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE. Programmer Discretion is Advised! Hey you bozos out there, now there is a sort even for you! For those who don't know, a Bozo Sort is a joke sorting algorithm that actually sorts but at horrible timing and is very inefficient.

Regular expressions... sounds like a complicated term doesn't it?
