You mean like a chicken with lips, or maybe a horse with feathers or
how about me indenting my pov script. That kind of unbelievable ?

So, Ken.
Are you by chance a Klingon programmer?

 I have never alluded to being any type of programmer. I am a Pov-Ray
user and nothing more save clever and resourceful.

From "Top 12 things likely to be overheard if you had a Klingon Programmer"

9) "Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your
skull!"


For some reason, the first time I read that, I thought immediately of Ken.

Top 12 things likely to be overheard if you had a Klingon Programmer

12) "Specifications are for the weak and timid!"

11) "This machine is a piece of GAGH!  I need dual Pentium processors if I am
to do battle with this code!"

10) "You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original
Klingon."

9) "Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!"

8) "What is this talk of 'release'?  Klingons do not make software 'releases'.
Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality
assurance people in it's wake."

7) "Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' --
and they ALWAYS WIN THEM."

6) "Debugging?  Klingons do not debug.  Our software does not coddle the weak."


5) "I have challenged the entire quality assurance team to a Bat-Leth contest.
They will not concern us again."

4) "A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!"

3) "By filing this SPR you have challenged the honor of my family.   Prepare to
die!"

2) "You question the worthiness of my code?  I should kill you where you
stand!"

1) "Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it
and let them flee like the dogs they are!"

Yes, it seems more and more people are just trying to push their
annoying
sci-fi images into the competition.  For about 100 images, only 10 of
them
really fits the topic, to me.  We already had that phenomena with
"imaginary
worlds".

And now, "landmarks" makes me fear a good dozen of damn pyramids !!!!
(did someone ever seen an IRTC round without pyramids ? not me...)

Fabien.

Well, I was actually thinking of doing a pyramid :) Not quite what you have in
mind, tho...

	Yes, the "I didn't have pigs with that sex" image. Too bad no
clams in the image. (Thinking I remember Carroll correctly.)

	I don't think it is "confused" in the least. The very purpose of
fantasy is to present it in a credible manner. I can not get away
from the idea that these are simply what they want to do and
twisting it into the topic.

	An image of a cube. "This is an image of a sphere. I know you
will say that is unbelievable."
