      Your remark has neither meter nor rhyme.

      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

            Is that irony I smell?

            I am not the one who knocks. I never knock. In fact, I hate knocking.

                      As long as the ruler isn't "duct taped / duck-typed", the tick marks don't randomly change spacing, and there are clearly designated numeric units (that also don't change value), and it stays a ruler and doesn't disguise itself as a rectal probe, I don't if it's metric or Vulcan.

                          Actually, I thought a programmer was someone who got paid for pointing out that you split an infinitive.

                          A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long
