Who gets the above joke? I do by the way.

Anyone who knows what the hell I'm going on about, explain the joke to the less informed people. He he.

I didn't get the joke Robin. I am not a nerd. I do not understand anything more than " Hi wassup".

I'm not sure whether I should admit I actually find that very funny... ;)

A programmer had been missing from work for over a week when finally someone noticed and called the cops. They went round to his
flat and broke the door down. They found him dead in the still running shower with an empty bottle of shampoo next to his body.
Apparently he'd been washing his hair. The instructions on the bottle said:

Wet hair

Apply shampoo

Lather

Rinse

Repeat

I get it. I wish I didn't, but I do.

And because I'm ultra-sad, here's an alternative version.
Here's how I'd do it in JAVA:

while(horse.isAlive())
{
beat(horse);
}

while($horse == "alive") { //This is a function which repeats all the stuff in the {} while the middle bit is true. IE, "while the horse is alive"

beat($horse); //Beat the horse

} //Start again

Basically, it means "while the horse is alive, beat it. When it dies, stop beating it."

Simple.

Well, it IS a nerd joke. If you were nerds you'd find it funny.
