    30 Cows in a field and 28 Chickens, how many didn't? Somebody had me in the pub on this yesterday and it had me stumped for awhile.

      Whats the difference between a Duck?

      if(this.signature != "")
      {
      MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
      }
      else
      {
      MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
      }

              That was a real question? I don't get it :|

              if(this.signature != "")
              {
              MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
              }
              else
              {
              MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
              }

                It only works in English, Read it this way: 30 Cows in a field and twenty ate Chickens, how many didn't?

                              Chickens on the other hand are vicious evil beasts who won't hesitate to eat another chicken. They would probably try eating a cow if they thought they could avoid being stepped on.

                                    I was going to say "2", but if I wrote it in binary, my answer would have been correct too, if you read it as an decimal number. :)

                                      In some countries, they used to add bone meal (cow, chicken, you name it) to cow feed. This was the major cause of Mad Cow disease.
