    No other group that I know of is so obsessed by puns. Do we have some form of OCD?

      When you code in MASM, you take those 50 lines and shuffle them around to avoid pipeline stalls, and change some instructions to a shorter form but longer execution time to keep loops in 16 bytes or less, then time the result, then do it again, and again... Dave.

      ...until the moment you give up and write some selfmodifying code and you run it, then fix it, then run it again and fix it again, and run it, and fix it, again and again.

        Pun wars seems to be the techie equivalent of dodgeball. Punning is treated as the intellectual equivalent of jocks bragging in the showers, and I can't help it, I'm obsessed by them.

                                      I am unique, just like everybody else.

                                        No other group that I know of is so obsessed by delusions of their own uniqueness.

                                        That's because we are the only unique group. ;P
