I know Programming is Gay but...

I thought this was REALLY interesting:

"What is the point of really teaching anybody? If you really want to understand something, explain it to someone else. And the more slow and dim-witted your pupil, the more you have to break things down into more and more simple ideas. And that's really the essence of programming. By the time you've sorted out a complicated idea into little steps that even a stupid machine can deal with, you've certainly learned something about it yourself. The teacher usually learns more then the pupil."- Douglas Adams 1987

heh heh stupid machines....
