  The dude that invented the concept of a NULL pointer beats himself up, thinking he made the worst design mistake in the history of computer science. Meanwhile, the guy that came up with the idea of multithreading is probably sitting on a beach somewhere, sipping a drink with a paper umbrella in it, without a care in the world.

  Just trying something. Our Girl Scout cookie season is over, and we still have 85 boxes: 510 dollars worth of cookies. If people PayPal me, I will give these cookies out to nurses, Waffle House employees, and any other good requests y'all have. https://paypal.me/rcgordon
