Hey don't feel left out, there's a certain someone on the board who swears by Perl, even for multithreaded system programming of all things! His ninja-mastery of the language almost made me learn Perl on several occasions... but I refuse to give in. :1orglaugh

Here's a question.. why is something containing two components referred to as 1/2 and 1/2? Ever go to Panda Express? They offer chow mien or rice. So if you go up and say I'll have "half and half" they'll give you half chow mien and half rice... but if you walk up and just say "half", they'll look at you confused. They'll put in half chow mien and ask, and I quote, "and the other half?" ... ???? "RICE YOU FUCKING MORON!!!!!" I don't want half chow mien, and half chow mien.
