Highly irresponsible statement. Requires further investigation. I am
applying for a grant from Kodak to conduct a study, and will request
matching federal funds :-)

I think the link is there indeed and is purely physiological. I mean,
IDL programming involves brain cells that lie next to those controlling
your alcohol demand. The more irritated you are with incomprehensible
code, the higher your risk of having a beer. The more beers you have,
the more incomprehensible your code looks the next day (but it sometimes
works, amazingly enough). I also noticed that those brain cells that
deal with objects lie the closest to the beer cells :-)

Cheers,
Pavel
