Ok, let's open with some statistics ...
It's been said 90% of all auto accidents happen within 25 miles of the home. Of course, when you think about it, probably 90% of the trips you make in your car are within 25 miles of the home ...
I thought of this the other day when I read that some University had completed a study which indicated how fat children are is a direct result of how their parents feed them.
Such a statement makes for enough of a pregnant pause to create triplets.
What I want to see are the statistics of how many people would have rather watched Scott Hamilton skate to Aerosmith performing "Walk This Way" live than watch Kiss make complete fools of themselves when Gene Simmons both knocked over his mic stand and then twirled Kristi Yamaguchi like the old man he really is. The closing ceremonies for the Winter Olympics would have been much better with the former than it was with the latter (and you know darn well the boys in Kiss had to use ladders to get onto those platform boots).
What does this have to do with programming? Or help systems? Or art?
Not a darned thing. But it gets this page posted, and for the moment that's what matters.
Hmmm ... you know, if I had a transporter beam, I could then use it to jump out of this 25 mile radius and avoid 90% of the car accidents I'll ever have ... maybe a large slingshot would work ...
