Bizarre... I just posted a Lua entry to that site a few weeks ago:

   function bottle(n)
      if     n==0 then return 'no more bottles'
      elseif n==1 then return '1 bottle'
      else             return n..' bottles'
      end
   end

   n=99
   while (n > 0)
      print (bottle(n)..' of beer on the wall,')
      print (bottle(n)..' of beer.\nTake one down,\npass it around,')
      n = n - 1
      print (bottle(n)..' of beer on the wall.\n')
   end

Pretty dang close (though yours is a bit better).

Cheers,
Eric
