Well almost!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

When I grow up, there will be a thing called the Internet and a company called Google where I can look up the answer to everything and anything.
When I grow up, I will be a software developer and there will a be site called Stack Overflow where I can ask "how do I convert, in Python, a 6 character hex string representing an RGB color to separate r, g, b integers" and 10 different ways will magically appear because someone else who didn't know the answer had the cojones to ask such a silly question in a public forum.
Python (one way): red = int("0x" + bkColor[0:2], 0)
C# (one way): int red = int.Parse(bkColor.Substring(0, 2), NumberStyles.HexNumber);
There, I spared you a google search.
Bonus SO answer: verify that a string is all hex digits (C#): bool isHex = Regex.IsMatch(src, @"\A\b[0-9a-fA-F]+\b\Z")

No programming answers in the lounge! Especially none nobody asked for.
But don't get me started on colors (in connection with XAML).
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Wow, why didn't I think of that when I was in school.

"The 14th Dalai Lama announced a new iPhone app which will allow devotees to watch live video of his teachings to his 16.6 million Twitter followers on Thursday" [^]
When wise runs into anti-wise, they just can't help getting into particulars: the quarks get quirky, the higgs gets horripilated, muons manic, neutrinos nuts ... but it's usually taken care of with a cold shower, and nothing comes of it. I mean: it's not like they can do without each other.

Next thing you know he'll be riding around in a lama mobile?

No need - you can't kill the Dalai Lama: he has a season ticket!

This is worth following?
I would think it better to be out in front rather than following!
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.

Why is it fashionable to beat up the Dalai Lama? He's a man of peace.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Because:Quote: The greater the social and cultural distances between people, the more magical the light can spring from their contact. ... as Milan Kundera said.
When that light is too blinding, too magical, we put on the dark glasses of humor so we can keep challenging otherness at a safer level of opacity.

Because beating up a man of war can be dangerous to your health?

Ha ! I realized I was in an alien body in 1955 (at age twelve).
