You can implement a 3D game in Python, but its interpreter and memory management is going to make it much less efficient than the same game in C++.

IMHO that is a rather unfortunate example. I'm sure people have written 3D games in Python with not so bad results, because the 3D heavylifting is done on a GPU anyway (via PyOpenGL).

The number of data points for "planets with intelligent life" equals 1. I have a model that fits this data perfectly, I dare you to improve on it.

A sextuplet is a tight-knit group of 6; typically used to refer to the birth of 6 kids together.

I guess that's why they call it "nitpicking".

News for nerds, remember? Ten is simply the base-2 representation of the same number that two represents in base-10. It's exactly the same statement.

So is that base two too? I can understand a reference to seeing "2" in a binary datastream when talking about bending strength, but I could never really get past second base myself.

A vegetarian/vegan diet is also about saving money and energy, thus it would be a great choice for public facilities such as prisons.
