Which is one reason I like iron.  If it does (so to speak) exactly
what you tell it to instead of what you meant it to, you heat it up
and smack it about a bit until it looks like you meant it to.  And
sometimes it does something you didn't mean it to that you like better
than what you meant it to.

Now were I to try that with my computer, like so...
