   Nah. I've got a lotta other code to fix.   
      
   I won't do your homework for you, bwah!  :-D   
      
   [1] Heh, I was taking a course in quantum mechanics, and feeling   
       like I wasn't getting it. Talking to the professor, he said   
       that, unlike some others, I seemed to be understanding it.   
       Wha?   
      
       It wasn't until I took some statistics-related courses (e.g.   
       systems & signals and signal-detection theory) that I grokked   
       the Schrödinger equation.   
      
       Schrödinger was apparently quite a randy fellow, having   
       multiple affairs and a live-in mistress.
