There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
I'll translate for you. He said Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room. Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with eachother, pushing around others and there was utter chaos. At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. Now each one was asked to randomaly collect a balloon and give it to the the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon. The speaker began-- Exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.

I'd of popped every balloon that I found that didn't have my name on it. I would have found mine within 2 minutes.

I wouldn't have written my name on my balloon, it would have said Hugh Janus or Mike Hunt or some such similar.

How about people with the same names? Would handwriting matches be used to absolutely verify that they got their original balloons back?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

That's abuse. He is not being abusive or Spamming. Besides the reply's to these sort of threads are one of the best things about the Lounge, don't deny us that.
This is not SO, this is Codeproject. There are rules.
