I decided to go ahead an upload this meme. Last week in the computer lab, we were having to write a program that included functions. (Basically instead of writing the full program in one big block, we divide it up into smaller blocks. While this seems more tedious and more difficult, this works well if you're working with multiple people on a program for a company like Microsoft or something.)

Anyways, I was able to wrap my head around the basic idea of functions, and I was able to write the program somewhat easily. But when I would go to run it, it... just wouldn't run. Usually Visual Studio (that's the program we use to write code) would underline an error in the code similar to if you misspell a word in Microsoft Word. But this time, all it said was "1 unresolved externals". Even the TA's (student Teacher Assistants) were stumped. They said that there's not an easy way to really fix it.

So after carefully looking at the code, they found that when I was passing two variables by reference (going from the main body of the program to the smaller body), I accidentally switched the order that I referenced them in... After I switched them back, the program worked fine. It just annoys the crap out of me when something just doesn't work, and there's no real logical explanation for it...

So while I waited for the program to print (to turn in a hard copy for a grade), I made this. I showed it to the TA's, and they laughed their butts off! One of them even said that if I submited it to a T-shirt design contest that he would wear it! XD

Anyways that's the story behind this. For anyone who has had computer science, you'll probably get this. For those of you who have no idea what the hell I just said, just remember that sometimes computers can be jerks. XD We just have to be nice to them lol.
