Happy birthday!

On a totally unrelated note, today is my unbirthday!

Spoiler`They gave it me,' Humpty Dumpty continued thoughtfully, as he crossed one knee over the other and clasped his hands round it, `they gave it me--for an un-birthday present.'

`I beg your pardon?' Alice said with a puzzled air.

`I'm not offended,' said Humpty Dumpty.

`I mean, what IS an un-birthday present?'

`A present given when it isn't your birthday, of course.'

Alice considered a little. `I like birthday presents best,' she said at last.

`You don't know what you're talking about!' cried Humpty Dumpty. `How many days are there in a year?'

`Three hundred and sixty-five,' said Alice.

`And how many birthdays have you?'

`One.'

`And if you take one from three hundred and sixty-five, what remains?'

`Three hundred and sixty-four, of course.'

Humpty Dumpty looked doubtful. `I'd rather see that done on paper,' he said.

Alice couldn't help smiling as she took out her memorandumbook, and worked the sum for him:

365 1 ___
364 ___

Humpty Dumpty took the book, and looked at it carefully. `That seems to be done right--' he began.

`You're holding it upside down!' Alice interrupted.

`To be sure I was!' Humpty Dumpty said gaily, as she turned it round for him. `I thought it looked a little queer. As I was saying, that SEEMS to be done right--though I haven't time to look it over thoroughly just now--and that shows that there are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents--'

`Certainly,' said Alice.

`And only ONE for birthday presents, you know. There's glory for you!'

Someone once told me that there would be serious problems if companies employing IT people gave all their employees their birthday off. There wouldn't be hardly anybody working in the IT department during the month of February.

He said that statistically speaking, good computer people seem to be born more in February than any other month.

I don't know how true this is, but most of the really good programmers I know do seem to suggest that it could be.  :-\

Renegade:
I'd rather work on my birthday and have my unbirthday off. ;)
