    Listening to the radio today, and apparently Sky News has done a survey, and has determined that people who listen Heavy Metal are more intelligent, than other music groups. Now I grew up on a Heavy Diet of Metallica, Slayer, AcDc, Sodom, Kreator, Megadeth, Anthrax etc. How Come I decided to become a Computer PRogrammer?

    Kind Regards, Gary

            There is another study claiming that people listening to heavy metal have a so disturbed mind that they are not able to paste a link properly ;P OK it has been modified, so my post makes no sense anymore.

                            We definitely need an ironic smiley. I've been caught so many times by people thinking I'm being serious. One for the suggestions board I think.

                                    How Come I decided to become a Computer PRogrammer?

                                    Maybe you were to deaf to hear people trying to talk you out of becoming a programmer. BTW, I listened to the heavy metal of the 70's and 80's. Led Zeplin, the Who, Van Halen, etc.

                                      Listening to the radio today, and apparently Sky News has done a survey, and has determined that people who listen Heavy Metal are more intelligent, than other music groups. Now I grew up on a Heavy Diet of Metallica, Slayer, AcDc, Sodom, Kreator, Megadeth, Anthrax etc. How Come I decided to become a Computer PRogrammer?

                                      Kind Regards, Gary

                                      How can a person who bangs his head be considered intelligent?

                                        We definitely need an ironic smiley. I've been caught so many times by people thinking I'm being serious. One for the suggestions board I think.

                                        Great thing about irony is, even if you're being serious irony is still irony... ;P

                                        It appears that everybody is under the impression that I approve of the documentation. You probably also blame Ken Burns for supporting slavery.

                                          Marty Friedman was THE best guitarist. Too bad he's not with Megadeth anylonger. :(
