Browsing around I've found this: http://www.fabiomarchesi.com/files/premesse_metodo_exotropic_mind_10_dal_libro.pdf[^] it's some kind of esoteric method (Italian language); using it, you could supposedly become happy. But the funniest thing is: I googled up for "Exotropic" and I've found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotropia[^] So, if you use it you could become "exotropic"? Now, isn't this buzzword worthy of this Hall of Shame? :)

maybe I've found an alternative inputs.Select(x => new { OriginalValue = x, Distance = Math.Abs(x - inputs.Average()) }).OrderBy(a => a.Distance).First().OriginalValue;

and here's another one... it's ROBUST jquery :p

$(this).parent().parent().parent().children("tr:nth-child(1)").children("td").children().children().children().children(":nth-child(2)")children(".MultilineTextBox").val("!" + Out);

yup, a language very easy to speak but almost impossible to understand eheh.. it's like a noninvertible function :)

a collegue of mine, from a village near Rome, uses to say "fresco": it means basically "stuff", and he really abuses the word. When he explains your code to you, he sounds like this: "Well, I coded a 'fresco' that takes two other 'frescos' and move them around, while another couple of lists of 'frescos'...." He also claims being a jQuery expert... so this is a jQuery example of his "frescoes" :laugh:

    $(".TimeoutInMinutes").change(function() {
        UpdateSave($(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().attr("id"));
    });

    $(".Iteration").change(function() {
        UpdateSave($(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().attr("id"));
    });
