Yeah - he really should have been thinking rationally and logically and acted with more emotional control while being attacked by a swooping magpie.
People don't work like that.

Not to mention the gentleman was 76 years old. His reaction time is slower, and he's a lot more concerned about spilling the bike since it's going to hurt a lot more than it does when your 26.

Wise up young man.
We live in a universe the entire objective of which is to kill us, lest we should eventually, in the far future, perhaps, maybe turn into intelligent life.
Go ask the dinosaurs.

You mean this whole thing with the dinosaurs was that they were becoming too smart?
I knew it! Super Genius Evil Dinosaur!

No, they start riding bikes and their downward spiral started.

there once was a codewitch named honey
who coded for love not for money
her b trees were seen
to be clever and lean
though some things that she said came out funny
possessed by a demon some said
or parsing had scrambled her head
whatever it were
it made her cats purr-
fectly happy to sit on the bed
ah the pot roast she made was sublime
and she made it a lot of the time
with potatoes of red
and garlic it's said
sweet parsley rosemary and thyme
sage advice she would give to her peers
from the beautious mess twixt her ears
keep your if statements tight
and do your loops right
or your codebase will end up in tiers
here's to coding and keeping it sunny
and gravy that isn't too runny
and now if you will
raise a glass of good swill
to the codewitch we all know as honey

oh my, I'm flattered.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Maybe she's petting pythons in her home. She would find this definitely legit.
on a serious note, I found this a bit odd at first (in Python)
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
elif a == b:
print("a and b are equal")
But just getting used to it.

What's weird about it, except the term "elif"?

that's definitely strange.
Python by itself was feeling a bit strange. And mainly I couldnt take the indent based code blocks without using {}. And with single-line blocks, it feels even more insecure.
As you might know, something like below in C/C++ is highly considered a bad practice.
if(a==b)
cout<<"I'm here";
Though it's allowed, we'd always stick with
if(a==b){
cout<<"I'm here";
}

@code-witch Take notes!
I've once searched for an hour for a bug in Haskell code (for a Functional Programming course at the Open University).
the code was something like:
line of code here
another line
a third line And I really couldn't find it.
Ultimately, I found that the first indent used spaces while the second used a tab 
Since then I've been really picky about my indents, even in C#.
It does make for some concise code though.

For the last ten months I have been doing that too. After a short and drastic stay in the hospital I had to throw away all clothes. My old pants would slide down to my feet if I did not hold them up. Now I can become a model for Greek heroes again. Well, perhaps some training first...
