I do not play music, although I did write a song with a buddy once, it was the lyrically like NIN to a folky Bob Dylan acoustic sound! If I was to do anything in music i would be more like Bernie Taupin!

Music.
Almost every programmer in our company has headphones on most of the time. That way everyone listens to what they like without annoying everyone else around them.

I prefer silence while coding and Godsmack while debugging.

Depends. Sometimes music, other times silence (which I rarely get in the office!). Whoever said open plan offices produce better results wasn't a developer. I say that knowing some developers like the "collaboration" the open plan engenders. I, however, am not of that belief.

An open Plan is best for the Bar, I like my privacy, and in seclusion I work better!

Mostly classic music .Everything that has vocals gets me distracted.

My son got a playmobil pirateship for his birthday from his classmates.
In the manual it says:
"WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD"
"Small parts. Not for children under 3 years."
Below the warning it says:
"Ne concerne que les USA"[1]
This made me chuckle a bit, but raises so many questions at the same time. 
[1]translation : Only concerns the USA

What's concern is that we want children to play as pirates.
In the future will they sell terrorist play set? Maybe Brussels play set with spring loaded exploder

I assume you meant that as a joke, but personally I'm not that amused by it.

It's not funny. Pirates are glorified for some inexplicable reason by Hollywood and apparently even by Disney. When I was a kid, being called a pirate was an insult[^].

Oh, the good old days! Nowadays, at least here in Sweden, they have edited the new releases of Tintin and taken out Captain Haddocks swearing. It's not PC enough here...

Did you know pirates wore eye patches so they could see in the dark?

Er .. I think you'll find it's a little more nuanced than that!

Not that much - they wore them over a "healthy" eye. So when they swapped from outside to in, they swapped eyes with the patch and could still see well.
IIRC Mythbusters tried it.
That they did, matey! : mythbusters pirate special- 8 - YouTube[^]

Arr, Jim lad! It's just I didn't want anyone to go away with the impression that it was the patch itself that enabled you to see in the dark. Ridiculous as that would be you just never know!

I saw it on Duck Quacks Don't Echo this week.
6 people in bright sunshine put into a dark crypt full of shite and told to get to the other side of it.
Those with the eye patch trick went pretty much straight through, those without bumped into everything and took several minutes more.

the USA also ban Kinder eggs[^] because it contains a small toy with small parts.
(my take on it) The reason is that if a child chokes on a small part, then the company will get sued.
I'd rather be phishing!

Kinder Eggs when they used to contain a series of small parts were not for children, they were for happy students (read happy as drunk, stoned or medicated) 
|
|

|

Not just students - I had a complete set of the Penguins!

Ohh Good, thought I was the only adult who still bought 'em!
|

I pretended to buy them for my daughter.
(The trick was that the ones with penguins in were heavier than the other ones)
