      On the BBC[^] I got 5 out of 7. (I am not asking a programming question, merely pointing at something that is (kinda)).

        2/7... Guess I'd better quit my job :( Oh wait, these questions didn't actually have anything to do with programming. I live to code another day :)

        It's an OO world.

                          I got a 7, but only because I took a blind guess at the movie question, on the basis that John Travolta was the only suspect without a picture.

                              That was why I decided against the joke. Google images for Charlotte Church has some great related searches. Reads like the fetish list on a low rent pron site.

                                    I thought the computer geek in that was the girl who came out with the immortal comment "This is Unix. I know this." That or the fat guy who was nicking the eggs.

                                        You get the 5 for the gratuitous use of Bajeebas. If you hadn't put the exclamation marks in, it would have been a 4, but they tipped it into a 5. Kudos.

                                          On the BBC[^] I got 5 out of 7. (I am not asking a programming question, merely pointing at something that is (kinda)).

                                          Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                                          It looks like the jokes on BBC they have had to change one set of answers, the Lettice/Pizza one, as there is a programming language for all of the orginial answers. It is now concrete instead of lettice - but then again there is concrete object sysntax for javascript does that count? They should have used a name that is obviously nothing to do with programming VisualBasic springs to mind :laugh:

                                          You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
