Start worrying when it starts saying things like, "'if' is the middle word in 'life'" or, "I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas"!

You know, sometimes, computers get moody, when this happens I usually, take the screwdriver and menace it with "I'm going to repair you". Works like a charm  .

I'll remember that for next time.

I think the screwdriver is more for your mental health than the PC's, especially if it works, because it is really out of whack if you see it does work.

On the other hand, I've seen the behavior of many a PC towards my wife and it appears to emote pure malevolence towards her.
The worst I've gotten is a bug in the code that I can't find, I put in print statements because I didn't have a debugger at the time, take out the print statements because the bug disappeared and the bug doesn't reappear. The worst I've gotten before that was the print statements didn't help find the bug, but it remained throughout until I finally spotted the logic error.
Generally, computer problems are between the ears of the programmer.

He did it right though jumping to the lower balcony, he probably could have done that all the way down. I don't know if he could have done it before the upper part collapsed though?

I agree rather thee than me but if it was a matter of burning or attempting to go down the balconies and possibly missing one I'll take the later, at least there's a chance of getting out of it.

They say that Gravity is the weak force... 
That said I am inspired to go to the gym and do pullups and leg lifts.
But there is no exercise I know of for such calm except training and character.

Recently watched a video along similar lines. Search for 'Psychiatry an industry of death' and you'll find it.

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each one a balloon.
Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen.
Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with eachother, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomaly collect a balloon and give it to the the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker began-- Exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.
