Yo mama's so fat that when you execute the following command:
result = wieght(mama)
you get the error message "Expression must be a scalar in this context."

I actually am, but that's different. I give my wife lots of reasons to
get upset. :-)

How about this:

You're mama's so fat she looks like an IDL program
written with a FOR loop!

First time out of the shire? :)
Java and fortran newsgroups are relatively tame (like
travelling to Bree). They at least have a benign purpose,
even though they treat newcomers like an adopted redheaded
little brother. There are truly dark places out there in usenet,
filled with an evil that does not sleep.

anyways, you may be better off going to moderated forums
at java websites. (java.net for instance, java.about.com,
javareference.com, etc).

Cheers,
bob

David,
I know what you mean. When I was learning FORTRAN I joined
comp.lang.fortran. Not sure whether I ever dared to ask a questions. I
was too afraid to get beat down by one of their jack*sses. A handful of
those is enough to ruin the climate for everyone.

Folks,

Sorry to change the Subject name, but this has all
the makings of one of those classic newsgroup threads,
and this will be easier to find in the future. :-)

Yo mama's so fat I had to do a SET_PLOT, 'XXX' to display her.

Cheers,

David
