    I don't think I've seen Jurassic Park. Read the book, but don't think I ever saw the film.

      2/7... Guess I'd better quit my job :( Oh wait, these questions didn't actually have anything to do with programming. I live to code another day :)

      It's an OO world.

        On the BBC[^] I got 5 out of 7. (I am not asking a programming question, merely pointing at something that is (kinda)).

          Same. I thought Johnny was also a programmer, but not a hacker. I thought SLJ tried to access the system, but wasn't a programmer.

                                    I got a 7, but only because I took a blind guess at the movie question, on the basis that John Travolta was the only suspect without a picture.

                                    Superman, had the guy at the bottom, and Jackson was the IT guy in Jurasic park wasnt he? But yeah, Lettuce was a guess. OK, a language caled Pizza, thats fairly likely, given the diets of programmers.

                                        That was why I decided against the joke. Google images for Charlotte Church has some great related searches. Reads like the fetish list on a low rent pron site.

                                          On the BBC[^] I got 5 out of 7. (I am not asking a programming question, merely pointing at something that is (kinda)).
