His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I know, Sheldon.
This way it sounds more like carpe diem, right?

Anyone play (or have played) Cribbage? I remember many decades ago (between 3 and 6 ) learning and playing with my grandfather for hours. Played during high school, college and several workplaces when it was slow.
Relevancy is that I was cleaning up some old HDDs and found a cribbage hand generator and scoring application I had written some years ago. I was curious as to whether my anecdotal evidence of the average value of a cribbage hand was matched by a statistical analysis of many thousands of generated hands.
At that time when I wanted to learn a new language, I would see how hard it was to write a hand evaluator for scoring. I seem to remember doing it in FORTRAN, Q-Basic, VB 6.0, Forth, MUMPS, C, C++, PL/1 and a couple of others.
I guess it is time to write another one, in a 'modern' language, just for grins and giggles.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Yeah, me neither. And the 'kids' now-a-days wouldn't know a real deck of cards if it hit them in the face. Sometimes I am not sure they can count to 31!

Sure they can press the number 3 then the number 1 then plus sign then the number one and equals!

You've set the bar too high. They can only count to 20...if their shoes are off. Though, if they find (and recognize) a deck of cards, and their shoes are still off, that limit rises to 72

"Sometimes I am not sure they can count to 31!"
...or even 15!!

Used to as a kid. And then a few years ago I went to a meet-up kind of thing once a week. But not recently. Though I continue to buy up cribbage boards at garage sales and the like.
Cribbage scoring isn't a task I would take on.

I think that it would be an absolutely ideal subject for a coding tutorial (and no, I'm not going to write it!)

In my Humbolt opinion you are the King - nay the Emperor of puns. You lift up your chin-strap on your thinking cap and let fly with these Royal one liners.
The Key-we feel- is that you do not chicken out when you let a few turkeys slip in but keep flying forward with moa and moa puns. It is one of the rhea-sons that I keep rhea-ding your posts.

Bird race? As long as you don't break the cardinal rule, would be a tough one to swallow. If you don't win, you can always resort to robin banks. If we can place bets, I'd pigeon a few bucks.
