        Yes it is. Coders, however, are more susceptible to the OOP syndrome. :)

          Dr. Wiki says, yes. This is not only real but a real problem with Paris.

                          Of course it is real. It is on Wikipedia.

                          There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                            Have you been to Paris? It's full of awful French people and once you've seen the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysees, had a baguette and taken pictures of all the white flags, you're done. :-)

                              Visited the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre, possibly taken in an opera or two, marvelled at the madness that is the road system round the Arc de Triomphe, then you're done.

                                  Twenty tourists a year does not a syndrome make. Basically, all this describes is that insane people sometimes travel and sometimes lose their marbles at their destination. If the destination if famous or notorious, it's a syndrome, if the place is mundane, it's just crazy people going even more crazy.
