This is just too funny..

There is an interesting (funny) story on CNET about how divorce is partly to blame for global warming

Divorced couples use up more space in their respective homes, which amounts to to 38 million more rooms worldwide to light, heat and cool, noted the report.

And people who divorced used 73 billion kilowatt-hours more of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water than they would otherwise in 2005.

Dissolving a marriage also means doubling possessions, from the lowly can opener to the SUV. The report, however, did not estimate how many more natural resources the children of shared-custody parents consume by getting birthday and holiday gifts twice.

First Law

The Computer is always right

Lemma one

Programmers are occasionally right

Second Law

The amount of time needed to debug a program is inversely proprotional to the time allotted for debugging

Corollary

Programs never work the first time unless there is virtually unlimited time to complete the program

Third Law

Any programmer can find 90% of his bugs simply by explaining his program to an uninterested observer

Corollary

The uninterested observer may be sleeping, dead, nonhuman, or, in extreme cases, nonexistant

Forth Law

The most difficult or nearly impossible programming problems appear obvious or extremely simple to anyone with little or no knowledge of programming

Corollary

Those problems most easily solved by a programmer appear to be overwhelmingly complicated and marvelous to the layman

Fifth Law

Computers are never more intelligent than their programmers

Corollary

Most computers are incredibly stupid

Sixth Law

The rarest bugs in any operating system or major programming effort will always show up in a demonstration of its use to prospective users or customers

Corollary

These bugs usually cannot be reproduced and therefore cannot be located

Lemma One

Customers will never purchase programs which appear to be riddled with bugs as verified by demonstration

Paradox

Most programs are unfit for sale
