A first-grade teacher, Ms Neelam (Age 28) was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked,"Boy, what is your problem?"
Boy answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"
Ms Neelam had enough. She took Boy. to the principal's office. While Boy. waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms Neelam he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave.She agreed.
Boy. was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Boy.: "9".
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Boy.: "36".
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know. The principal looks at Ms Neelam and tells her, "I think Boy can go to the third-grade."
Ms Neelam says to the principal, "I have some of my own questions.
Can I ask him ?" The principal and Boy both agreed.
Ms Neelam asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?
Boy., after a moment "Legs."

The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of "C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it "Programming graphics in X is like finding sqrt(pi) using Roman numerals." "Never put off until run time what you can do at compile time." BASIC programmers never die, they GOSUB and don't RETURN. Real programmers are surprised when the odometers in their cars don't turn from 99,999 to 99,99A. FORTRAN is not a language. It's a way of turning a multi-million C is almost a real language. Even the name sounds like it's gone through Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. Programming is 10% science, 25% ingenuity and 65% getting the ingenuity to work with the science.
referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given
that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant.
This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change."

Interviewer: "Is studying computer science the best way to prepare to be a programmer?"
Bill Gates: "No, the best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great
programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to
the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished
out listings of their operating system."
There are 10 types of people in this world.
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

3.Our body has some natural protection for our eyes. Our eyelashes help to keep dirt out of our eyes. Our eyebrows are made to keep sweat from running into our eyes.
4.Our eyes are very important to us, and we must protect them. We don't want dirt, sand, splinters or even fingers to get in our eyes. We don't want our eyes to get scratched or poked. That could damage our sight!
5.The study of the iris of the eye is called iridology.
6.The shark cornea has been used in eye surgery, since its cornea is similar to a human cornea.

17.All babies are colour blind when they are born.

29.Over the front of our eye is a clear covering called the "conjunctiva."
30.The white part of our eye is called the "sclera." At the front, the sclera becomes clear and is called the "cornea."
31.Around the pupil is a colored muscle called the "iris." Our eyes may be BLUE, BROWN, GREEN, GRAY OR BLACK, because that is the color of the iris.
