    Have you ever heard of Harry Houdini?
    What?
    well he wasn't like today's magicians who are only interested in television ratings.
    he was an artist.
    he could make an elephant disappear in the middle of a theater filled of people
    and do you know how he did that?
    misdirection
    *** are you talking about?
    Misdirection
    What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
