   Reminds me of when someone accidentally cross-linked   
   the C programming echo with some sex one, so we   
   suddenly started receiving some pretty unusual messages.   
      
   Someone remarked "if there's any justice in the world, they   
   will have been hit with a whole lot of C programming messages"   
   and someone from the sex group confirmed that it was really   
   bad getting C programming messages.   
      
   Man, I love humanity sometimes.
