After an afternoon of watching women discuss imperceptible (to them) differences in colour, and waiting outside fitting rooms, the guys came up with this: "I think I'll write the 'women-in-a-mall' search program sometime." "How does that work?" "It first does a linear search through the entire set, then, unsatisfied with a negative result, it goes back and checks random items to see if it missed something." --- Robyn Stewart stewart@dao.nrc.ca -- Selected by Maddi Hausmann.
