I see, 222 223 whatever it takes...

[Professional Engineer]

Wanna bet.

[Darksheare]

LOL, well..
...certain subversive holdouts continue to mess with FORTRAN because of nefarious reasons obviously!

Kinda like those COBOL users.

[Lazamataz]

Um, I'm not going to ask why your posting finger was sticky ... ;-)

Don't Ask; Won't Tell.

[Lazamataz]

Curiously, your post was 223. LOL

[Lazamataz]

The Laz has reached critical mass and is.. multiplying!

Like those pink coconut marshmallow cakes you find on convenience store shelves... if you get too many of them together in close proximity, critical mass is reached and an explosion ensues. :)

[Darksheare]

Which somehow produces more coconut marshmallow cakes.

[Lazamataz]

It’s the closest we will ever see to a perpetual motion machine.

[Darksheare]

All while someone stands nearby the growing wall of marshmallow coconut and muttering “what have I done?”

[NoCmpromiz]

I don’t suppose either of you ever tried nuking some of those...

[Lazamataz]

Like the Nanobot 'Grey Fog' scenario, the pink coconut marshmallow cake self-perpetuating explosion is a very real, very serious problem. There are three cases of it, right now, that authorities are trying to control:

One, Area 51, was once a small sleepy town, until a convenience store clerk mistakenly placed four of the cakes in close proximity. The government erected Area 51 to contain the crisis, and make up some hooey about UFOs.

Another occurred in Chernobyl, Ukraine. The Ukrainian government tried, unsuccessfully, to wipe out the cakes by overloading a nuclear reactor. All that happened is that they have millions of radioactive pink coconut marshmallow cakes.

Finally, a pink coconut marshmallow cake event (PCMCE) occurred in the south of France in 2011. The French authorities were able to airlift the entire convenience store to the Antarctic, where the increase in mass is mistakenly attributed to ice growth. Closer satellite observation reveals millions of tiny little pink coconut marshmallow cakes.

This is a serious problem. We will need funding to contain it. Please consider giving now.

[Lazamataz]

See my post 252. It’s been tried in the Ukraine.

[Crazieman]

Does global warming make it worse?

[NoCmpromiz]

Wanna bet.

Umm..

Not really.. ;-)

Not sure what section you wanted to bet on, but whether it was the DO, the FORTRAN, the keypunch, the card reader or the punch cards, I figure if any of those are in your area of experience you are Old Like Me..

And that means we both know that old age and treachery beats youth and exuberance every time... ;-)

[Lazamataz]

Global warming increases the sensitivity of pink coconut marshmallow cakes, so yes, in a way, global warming makes the problem worse.

[Darksheare]

It was...unfortunate.

[Lazamataz]

Mistakes were made.

[NoCmpromiz]

Well in that case, I think I’ll wander out to the North Forty and water some invasive plant species with a special solution of (generic) glyphosate..

The Grabweed is getting out of hand. ;-)

..don’t tell the greenies - they might come out and dig up the field. And discover all the assault weapons buried there. The ones that survived the boating accident that is..

Wonder if this will flag nonameplace to look at me again.

[Darksheare]

Ugh, yes.
The “wait-a-minnit” vines.
