I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The '++' is used in "C-like" languages (C, C++, Java, etc) to increment a variable. So if x= 2 then x++ =3. It's a shortcut for saying "x=x+1". Giving the "successor" to C the name C++ is a play on this.

Heh. I thought I closed that Buffista tag, but it's bleeding all over the place.

All is well that ends in pizza.

What can we say? We're Buffistas. Some of us are numbersluts, but we don't let it get in the way.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I like Daniel's suggestion. It's mathy.
