The Usual Dosage

• More than 98% of convicted felons are users of it.
• Fully HALF of all children who grow up with it in their households score below average on standardized tests.
• In the 18th century, when virtually all homes contained it, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.
• Every time you use it you are nearer to death.
• It is associated with all the major diseases of the body. For example, nearly all sick people have used it. The effects are obviously cumulative:
  • 99.9% of all people who die from cancer have used it
  • 100% of all military personnel have used it
  • 96.9% of all Communist sympathizers have used it
  • 99.7% of the people involved in air and auto accidents had used it within 6 months preceding the accident
  • 93.1% of juvenile delinquents came from homes where it was used frequently
• Evidence points to the long-term effects of use: of all people born before 1839 who later used it, there has been a 100% mortality rate.
• 7 It has been proven that as little as a teaspoon of it can be used to kill a lab rat.
• Primitive tribal societies that have never used it exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, and osteoporosis.
• It has been proven to be highly addictive. Subjects deprived of it begged for it after as little as two days.
• It is often a “gateway” item, leading the user to increase usage of other similar substances.
• It has been proven to absorb large amounts of water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that using it could lead to your body being taken over by it.
• It is created at temperatures as high as 450 degrees Fahrenheit. That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

What is this deadly substance?

It’s bread.

I’m not an atheist and I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. -Albert Einstein

I’m really not in the business of posting code here any longer, but I had to write this today and I wanted a place to save it.

This simple function evenly allocates percentages to a number of items in a list. So, for example, if we had 4 items, it’s easy: 25,25,25,25. However, if we have, say, 6 items, the algorithm allocates 17,17,17,17,16,16. The amount always adds up to 100, as long as there is at least 1 and no more than 100 items in the list.

Feel free to use it, but I’m not going to let anyone “copy and paste”. I am so sick of seeing code created by people who just surf websites and copy/paste code into applications without first understanding it. I have had to deal with a lot of that garbage, so I am not going to enable it here. If you want to use this code, go ahead, but you’ll have to type it all out.
