        Try this. Trust me, it won't hurt. 1) While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot of the floor, and rotate it in clockwise circles. There! That wasn't too bad was it? 2) Now, while still rotating clockwise, lift your right hand, and draw a "6" in the air. Nothing wrong so far? goood. 3) Look at your foot. Why is it going anticlockwise? Because as I said - your brain doesn't work right...and there is nothing you can do to stop it happening... :laugh:

                  The circle gets a little hitchy at one point, but other than that I can do it correctly with good consistency. Furthermore, I find that I can do it absolutely flawlessly every time as long as I keep my eyes focused on the foot rather than the hand.

                          Exactly! That goto can easily be replaced by 60 lines of code, which will bring the added bonus of having time to nip off for a coffee/bacon sarnie/beer at the end of each iteration.

                            Yeah, but you're supposed to draw a 6, not a 9.

                                I could resist the change in direction for a few seconds. As it turns out I could also easily make my coworkers think there is something wrong with me. Another one you can try is (I learnt this one in primary school): 1. With an open palm rub your stomach in a circular motion. 2. Pat the top of your head with the other hand. One of your hands will follow the other and you will wind up patting your stomach or rubbing your head. Most people can get that one right with some practice though; especially if you are partially or fully ambidextrous.

                                    Tap out a triplet pattern with one hand. Now try and tap out a half note or sixteenth note pattern with the other hand. Once you have mastered this, now try and reverse the hands.

                                        Try this. Trust me, it won't hurt. 1) While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot of the floor, and rotate it in clockwise circles. There! That wasn't too bad was it? 2) Now, while still rotating clockwise, lift your right hand, and draw a "6" in the air. Nothing wrong so far? goood. 3) Look at your foot. Why is it going anticlockwise? Because as I said - your brain doesn't work right...and there is nothing you can do to stop it happening... :laugh:

                                          Ok. That's it. Now I'll be singing "Hi, my name is Joe, and I work...." for the rest of the day. You are hereby sentenced to work in nothing but Dartmouth BASIC and all the legacy code is nothing but GOTOs. :~
