Two blokes, a mathematician and an engineer agreed to take part in an experiment.
They were both placed in a room and at the other end was a beautiful naked woman on a bed.
The researcher said that every 30 seconds they would be allowed to travel half the distance between themselves and the woman.
The mathematician started to storm out of the room shouting "This is pointless".
The engineer agreed to go ahead with the experiment anyway.
Upon hearing this and just before going out through the door the mathematician turns and says, "Don't you get it? You'll never actually reach her!"
To which the engineer replies, "So what? Pretty soon I'll be close enough for all practical purposes."

Not to me or anyone else who doesn't need to boost their reputation points by answering with a trival statement with absolutely no reasoning behind it.

Talking out loud again? Did you at least put a mirror in front of you to make it seem like that there's someone else there?

Seeing the post below (congrats on your new child, soon sleep will be a fond memory), I am put in mind of the life cycle of an insect and how it is relevant to humans.
Larvae - Pupae - Imago
First all they do is wriggle and eat their own weight each day.
Then they cocoon themselves away and sleep for ages.
Finally they emerge as either beautiful butterflies or aggressive wasps or those poor b@stards whose job it is to roll around and collect other people's sh+t all day.

The only problem is the API is largely undocumented, and the docs that do exist seem to have been written by MSDN...
