Exclamation Silly stuff...

...that just struck me as funny:

"The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket."

"The secret of the universe is @*&^^^ NO CARRIER"


Cheers,

Talking Two (?) Kinds of People

Which reminds of the binary joke:
"There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't."


'Cause in binary [base 2, right?] one would be "1," two (the 1 in the twos place) would be "10," three would be "11" (with 1 in both the ones and twos places), and four would be "100" (with the 1 in the fours place).

And just for Bill E., "1001001" translates to 73 (if my binary translation is correct )... which is *much* less catchier than "S.O.S!"*


Cheers,

--Jay
