Why do programmers always get Christmas and Halloween mixed up?

Because DEC 25 = OCT 31! Ahahahaha
Sorry, with the holidays approaching it seemed appropriate. Hope you haven't heard it before.

-------------------- Republican Values: 1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you. 2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child. 3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer. 4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Hehe... reminds me of...
I was at a computer conference years ago and told one of the other people that I was with that I was staying in room five. The next day the person was pissed because there was no room five. After checking with the hotel lobby, he found that the first room they had was number 101. Exactly, I replied, my room, number five.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

most of the functions of my Ti-83 are foreign and scary to me... so naturally this thread is very confusing.
I don't learn complex math. I take notes and program my calculator to do the hard work for me.
I'm a mathematic script kiddie
