    Also, it's not as if the rest of the content on the Lounge is of a highly intellectual nature. :-)

          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.

                      This algorithm could still be made more parallel - we have two hands for two balloons....and there is no exception handling for two or more people having the same name.

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

                                        I'm honestly not sure why this is worse (apart from the formatting fail) from 'Griff, look at this [story about sheep]' or 'What I had for lunch today' or CCC.

                                          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 actually vomited when I read this utter drivel: complete, unadulterated bollocks. X|
