Hey now, my legs work very well, thank you. Oh, and it's mostly a complexity issue; B-Trees are great when you have truely colossal amounts of data to sort through. With the number of items Nethack is expected to deal with? Pretty much a non-issue... especially as most the time you'll be either working with an item currently in inventory (limited to 52 items due to the menu system) or you'll want to be looking through everything from beginning to some arbitrary point anyway, so the linked list structure is just fine.

I don't get it much. I suppose if I got what it meant, I'd like it, so I'm not going to vote. Also, you missed saying that the # was also a sink and a cloudI wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain.

The #'s are pretty clearly trees, since Dudley's on a recognizable minetown level. I guess there could be some ambituity with the a's, but it's a pretty straightforward pun.

Very programmer specific which is clearly indicated by the no clue/excellent votes lol. Since there are code-specific joke threads in rgrn too ok for this time :)
