Are you by any chance that lady who got out of jail Tuesday? :-) :-)
(And you said it was "god" who was responsible for putting you in
jail?)

:-) (And when you heard the news about the group of illegal aliens
found crowded around an automobile engine, you corrected the news
reporter, saying that nowadays we don't call them engines, we call
them native Americans?)

[Thanks to Jay Leno for those two fine jokes in his monologue tonight,

three more I'll post later: Cingular, aliens leave country, Veggie
Booty.]

"algorithm" means, to avoid gaffes like that in the future.
(Virtually everything you code in your software are algorithms.)
