Ah, dihydromonoxide is indeed very poisonous! I've heard that if you just drink a teaspoonful of it, you'll eventually die! Nobody tasting it has survived, although some still linger for the time being.

Oh, to tell u kids about the Olden Times, I knew a dude from our school computer lab (a small six-by six ft closet) who wrote an improved version of Lisp on a TRS-80. Improved, yes, as it had garbage collection! And another guy who calculated Nepers number on an iron core HP box. Oh yes, back then we would REALLY program in binary - with self-modifying jump tables. And how did I get acquainted with these guys? Well, I wrote an improved version of "Space Invaders" where the action was in true 2D, using bit-shifted graphics characters. After that stupid idea of mine I was the most hated geek, as the other real geeks would have hard time getting computer time on the TRS-80, as lamers would spend time just playing my game. And did I already mention that the computer lab was a retrofitted outhouse with electricity, both ways uphill in knee-deep snow?
