    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.

                                    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
