    Oh dude! I couldn't stand chemistry, but I knew I was a geek when I took my first programming class in COBOL. It was one of the best classes I ever had and motivated me towards the career I'm in now.

    There are some experts around here, so I thought it would be fun and funny. Possible risk of dumb and dumber, but we'll see. Only rules are you have to follow the FC rules... no personal attacks, threats, troll like behavior, and inappropriate photos. For this thread only in OT, you may go On Topic, Off Topic, or No Topic. This thread won't get moved anywhere else.

    There is no real scoring, but there is an art to being a "tangent". It can't be so far off the previous post and have no relation, but the best posts will be those that are just randomly WAY out there and funny, but still are "tangents".

    Matt, it was in this thread on DESchat where you last mentioned the atomic weight of cobalt - and you spelled it correctly, then...!

    Did you know that COBOL stands for COmmon Business Oriented Language?

    And that virus (human kind) have a phospholipid bi-layer?

    remember, a tangent of a tangent of 'A' is usually not a tangent of 'A'.

    you can also think of it as degrees of separation
