Strange, squirrels seem fine to me. I don't remember seeing fat one

Squirrels in autumn get very fat indeed. If they don't, they die during hibernation and spring.

Good.
Damn tree-rats.

So, anything vegetable is absolutely OK ?
In that case i can think of a few plants in my garden you might care to try (this time of year: Lily of the valley), you wouldn't derive much pleasure from them and certainly not for long. Mind you, getting fat definitely becomes a thing of the past.

|
|
So I definitely shouldn't be eating it, then?
Not unless blurry vision, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea, disorientation, drowsiness, headaches, red skin rashes, excessive salivation, sudden alterations in your cardiac rhythm and possible death sound like your idea of fun.
Sounds like a fun summer vacation on the beach to me.

Eating it is not a good option, vegetable or not.
Me, I prefer chocolate: as dark as possible, made from GOOD plants.
In the end it might kill you as well but at least the process is slow and you get to enjoy it along the way.

Chocolate and bacon are both fattening. Like all high energy foods, the appropriate remedy is to do enough exercise that you can enjoy them without getting fat
In my case the fatty food of choice is cheese and oils in savoury dishes, as well as eating a lot of carbs. But the remedy is much the same.

That question[^] made my day 
Edit : Question has been deleted.
Here the complete code of space invaders:
void main(void)
{
game();
}

Wow, that ruins the fun. 
It was titled something along "How do I call space invaders from main and how do I add levels", with a code dump, and with comment "I am a beginner, what is that game(); function doing ?"

Asking about what the "game" function is doing is fairly logical, the name is very non-descriptive.
They should have used "game_space_invaders" or something like that, it would have made the code far more readable.

What if they change the name of the product to vacuum space invader!?
|
|
|
|
|
What if they re-brand the product as Productivity Enhancer?
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

You want to write that up as an article you know...

I had a similar experience with a new colleague who happened to be a fresher.
I was showing him the WinForms based Database client I had developed that had a striking resemblance with SQL Server Management Studio but had much more features than SSMS. Back then SSMS did not have IntelliSense (autocomplete) and I had an extensive autocomplete features implemented. It could also access other databases like Oracle and MySQL.
I was dumbfounded when I heard him saying "That's pretty easy, you must have inherited it from SSMS".

I don't think so, there are a lot of things that you can say about an article without actually understanding it. Format, length (a bunch of pictures with two words around), plagiarism and spams. So don't give up - that helps a lot...

Sadly this is becoming a commonplace. Too many submitters seem to think they have discovered something new, but don't bother to do a search to see if the subject has already been covered (by a decent author). They also fail to read the submission guidelines before publishing. Maybe they are looking for instant fame.

There was one this morning that was all images, with a few words of text. 
We get far too much of this: trivia, rubbish, and plagiarism.
I suspect that some people think "... and I have 5 published articles on CodeProject" will look good on their resume - ignoring that the first thing a prospective employer is going to do is look at the "articles", snort, and bin the CV even if it's otherwise a good fit...
But...we do get some good ones, it's just the get hidden by the dross sometimes.
