    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.

      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.

                      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.

                                    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.

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

                                      It looks like the jokes on BBC they have had to change one set of answers, the Lettice/Pizza one, as there is a programming language for all of the orginial answers. It is now concrete instead of lettice - but then again there is concrete object sysntax for javascript does that count? They should have used a name that is obviously nothing to do with programming VisualBasic springs to mind :laugh:

                                        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.

                                        He was the other programmer, the guy who got through the various blocks the fat bloke had put in the way. Ended up being eaten by a Raptor. Sadly, this is often the fate of the junior programmer.
