    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

      No John. You do not get extra points for shooting the monitor because you just wasted 5 minutes. It does not work that way.

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

                            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.

                                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.

                                        I thought the computer geek in that was the girl who came out with the immortal comment "This is Unix. I know this." That or the fat guy who was nicking the eggs.

                                        I only just managed to sit through 1, let alone 2 or 3.

                                          You get the 5 for the gratuitous use of Bajeebas. If you hadn't put the exclamation marks in, it would have been a 4, but they tipped it into a 5. Kudos.
