How about non sequiters?

Wife1 was recently commissioned (LTJG) into the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Public_Health_Service_Commissioned_Corps"]Public Health Service[/URL]. We decided to celebrate by purchasing a new [URL="http://www.panerai.com/s_page.xpd?id_sezione=16&id_categoria=3205&id_prodotto=4847&id_lingua=2"]watch[/URL]. (It is not hard to find an excuse to make a timely purchase!)

This watch is particularly interesting because of its minimalist design. It is also our first manually-wound watch.

High diesel prices and dismal fuel economy finally irked us to the point that [I]something[/I] had to be done with the truck.

For the children, of course.

100 years ago today!
 

On this date in history, one of my relatives was bumped off the ship that they had been working on:down:. The ship sank:doh!:. They lived:et_:. It was the Titanic.

Wow!!!!

:doh!: is such an understatement... :razz:

If you watch Titanic backwards, it is just about a magic ship which saves a lot of drowning people...

:grin:

I'm very excited to announce that after years of work I can finally run this minimally obfuscated C program and it be true:

[CODE]#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int i;
char Title[4];
Title[0] = 0x4D;
Title[1] = 0x72;
Title[2] = 0x2E;
Title[3] = 0x00;
printf("Before: %s\n", Title);
for (i=0; i < 9; i++)
Title[0] = (int)Title[0] - 0x01;
printf("Now : %s\n", Title);
return 0;
}
[/CODE]

[CODE]+ Title[1] = Title[0];
for (i=0; i < 9; i++)
! Title[1] = (int)Title[1] - 0x01;
[/CODE]
could have been more lucrative, but congrats anyhow!!

Here is [U]rot coded[/U] version of the program.
[CODE]#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int i;
char Title[4];
Title[0] = 0x4D;
Title[1] = 0x72;
Title[2] = 0x2E;
Title[3] = 0x00;
printf("Before: %s\n", Title);
for (i=0; i < 9; i++)
Title[0] = (int)Title[0] - 0x01;
Title[1] = Title[0]
printf("Now : %s\n", Title);
return 0;
}
[/CODE]
This could also be quite profitable.:innocent:
