For Talula...a friend sent me this one.

"Actually I always thought that programming was quite similar to sex.

The first time you do it you have no idea what you're doing. It seems

like men think about it more than women. Doing it in a large group

makes things far too complicated, since no person will know exactly

where their part is supposed to fit, though some people claim that

it'll give you better results. Doing it by yourself is what most

students end up doing. It will take a lifetime to master it. There's

no one right way to do it, but a number of wrong ways. People who have

never tried it think that those of us who practice it daily are

deviants. It's fun. It takes a lot of energy. It can keep you up late

at night. It can make you miss classes. Do it too long and you'll go

blind. Finally, once you get it on your mind, it's hard to concentrate

on anything else."

That is a rather interesting comparison.

Unfortunately, at least in my experience it's easy to fall out of a focused programming mindset.
