O.K. that's funny....it took me a few minutes, but, thats a good one.


Yep, he's a Cartman. Only a fat**s would spell psychology "pshycology".

Dave-come on man, you're better than this.[V]


Let's see, I borrow a catch phrase from South Park e.g. "Only a fat**s would spell psychology 'pshycology'", and Murphy feels the need to chastise.

Ironken posts the following.....

Now, it's no big deal to me. Just wondering if you were aware of your onesided refereeing.


[(-D]To be 100% honest-I was not aware of my one-sided refereeing,due to the fact that I missed the statement quoted above by ironken. To be fair-I'd offer the same comment to ironken: You're better than that too. I've read some of your threads that were quite informative,and some where you bit people (deserving, or not,you did bite some people). Both of you could do with a little more civility.
As to the other part, I can honestly plead ignorance. Plain and simple,I don't watch TV. Therefore,South Park jokes, Seinfeld jokes,etc....wizz right past me. Sorry for the inconvenience. Feel free to butt heads once more.[:)]


I'm hoping to set a record for nested quotes.


In computer programs, there are certain codes, called blocks, that are used to control the flow of logic. For example, a loop in the C programming language can be written as:

[code]
for (i = 0; i < N; i++){
b[ i ] = 0;
}
[/code]

which is a loop that sets the array b to zero. There are times when you might need a loop within a loop like this:

[code]
for (i = 0; i < N; i++){
for (j = 0; j < N; j++){
b[ i ] += a[ i ][ j ] * x[ j ];
}
}
[/code]

which is code that multiplies matrix a with vector x and stores the result in vector b . Loops within loops are called nested loops and are quite common in programming. In fact any block (the code between sets of curly braces { } ) may be nested within other blocks.

Hence, quotes contained inside other quotes are nested quotes.

Buzz.......Zoom!!! That went way over my head. I'm a lumber salesman. ' Want to talk about something I understand, like the reletive strength properties of Canadian spruce-pine-fir?[;)]

Well, it took a few attempts to get those code fragments above to look right, but in short, to be nested is to include something inside something else larger, like those Russian dolls. I was just pointing out that these posts have lots of quotes containing quotes, and I thought it might be a record number of such quotes. I didn't reallize that the term nested was such a colloquialism.

You know, what's really cool is if you keep pulling this page up and down. You get like a 3D effect, man.[|)]

Now, now,....calm down, calm down, break it up! - Wow!, whew!,... Good thread though. I think I went through at least three of bags of popcorn on that one. I'll be bound up for a month now!..... But anyway, take it from me, some will be getting called in to the front office on this one! - I'm still recovering from the whoopin I got!. I learned my lesson!..... I just want to learn more about railroading and not how far I can pee. I'll leave that for the big guns!
