I’ve been in this industry for almost 40 years and I thought I would have
heard every physics/computer joke.

I really enjoyed this one. After weeks of chasing this bug, it was good to
laugh at it. (More, precisely, its laughing at me.)

Thanks. Sometimes a little humanity can lift a poor developer’s spirits.

I’ll let you all know if
verifier.exe /flags 0xFB /all
tracks my problem.
