Moris code, Sherry? Dancing around maypoles, and so on?

Yep, it's a typing error. It's actually "morse code". It's where dots and dashes can make words. Someone else can explain how it's been used for many years.

Heh. Possibly the only reason I came up with it is because of Terry Pratchetts novell Lords and Ladies (or was it Wyrd Sisters?) where Morris Dance and maypole references are sprinkled throughout the story.

See here for more info.

It's also the PC POST code for "there's something wrong with your graphics card" (the usual POST code one hears is · meaning "everything's working"). The way to remember this is that it's also a Morse V (for Video) backwards.

(I wonder if Samuel Morse chose ···— as V because it's the first bar of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, and V is the Roman numeral for 5; or is this a coincidence?)

I believe I become more attractive to older women from my 23yo than before but give me 10y, with less hair and with my six-pack will not look as a six_pack anymore, that will be my *porsche* that will be more attractive

Anyway, I believe most people (especially women) are the more attractive in their 30, but it is largely a mental thing... IMHO

Ludo
P.S.: In 10y, I want my MBA and my first porsche...
