In the fast-paced computer market software and hardware design firms are always looking for the best method of conveying information.
In light of this I was spending an evening at an all-night slop-joint with some friends and debated the merits of french-fries and onion-rings as
a new method of Programming. Not only would it bolster a not-really faltering fast-food industry but it would give computer programmers more of a reason not to get up from their computer to eat.
Think about it, an entire industry bent on the production of frech-fries and onion-rings for the largest Turing machine on the planet. And his name? Bob Hackworth: 700 pounds of lard and the richest man on the planet. (no offence intended to any person who is named Either Bob or Hackworth or Both).

I thought this was going to be like a music box with a rotating KFC drumstick instead of a drum, with the crispiness providing data. |
