All my fellow software engineers(or so they are called) that think they are doing shit, read this.
"Charles Roselli set out to discover what makes some sheep gay. Roselli, a researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, has searched for the past five years for physiological factors that might explain why about 8% of rams(uncastrated male sheep) seek exclusively with other rams instead of ewes. The goal he says is to understand the fundamental mechanisms of sexual orientation in sheep"- The Times of India, Friday, January 26, 2007, page 21.
You thought, writing that same piece of low profile code was low profile and boring. You thought fixing those high priority bugs was low profile. Time you thought again. You can't have a worse job than the one Roselli has.( Oh.Really?)
On a second thought( the thought that comes to my mind after hundreds of them since first thought or some such thing) may be it's not all that bad.
My dear readers,read the Roselli story,carefully, again. It's a pretty serious proposition to arrive at that 8% figure. You may wonder how he does it. May be all the rams are lined up. Around fifteen hundred of them, to obtain a bankable result,may be,I think. Two good looking(!!?)sheep, a ram and an ewe placed on a platform in front of them (to check the orientation of these thousand odd rams).
Ram no.1 called out and he steps forward.
Researcher whispers to the ram no.1 " Dude,now you gotta be honest with me. I understand it's (admitting to be gay) not seen upon too nicely by the society and all that. You see I have dedicated my life to figure out how many of you are gay and why. Can you believe, they are paying me for this. Now, see up there(showing the platform). Check'em out. You like him or you like her? Now you don't tell me you like both of them. That would make me do more math. Just pick one. Come on."
The ram looks at 'em....
Ram to the researcher "Sir, honestly I don't like both of them, i mean look at 'em(pointing at the two sheep on the platform)he is too fat and she is anorexic. I am shure ( sheep are shure when they are sure) none of these buggers behind me would like either/both of them. And one more thing, the fact the I care to comment on both of them, does not mean I am bishexual or something( sheep think shexual shounds more shexy) . Or may be i am. I think I will keep you guessing. Hell with your research. Just leave me alone.I am going."
And so the research goes on. I am too bored to write beyond this man.
