Hee hee. Foot->shoot
From [link|http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/22/technology/ebusiness/22NECO.html|here] (free registration required [try 'IWETHEY':'IWETHEY' {not sure about capitalization}]): The copyright controversy has had an interesting side effect for Operation Clambake. The Google software judges the importance of a page in part by looking at how many other pages link to it. Scientology's complaint set off a flurry of linking to the critics' site, pushing it up two spots to No. 2 in the search results for "Scientology" \ufffd just below the church's official site. ===

Reverse Polish Notation
In which the reference points to the pointer,
Foot->Shoot is propber reverse Polish notation.
Foot<-Shoot is normal notation.

In C++? Should be gun->shoot(foot);
Why would foot implement a shoot method?
The average hunter gatherer works 20 hours a week.
The average farmer works 40 hours a week.
The average programmer works 60 hours a week.
What the hell are we thinking?

As a convenience method
Why would foot implement a shoot method?
Consider modelling a Microsoft employee in court for an anti-trust trial...

In that case, that method better stop testimony somehow -

From that source, a more effective diagram might be
gun->shoot(ass)

More like this:
IE->Shoot(OS)
If Integrating the browser to the OS means that the whole system locks up while trying to load a sluggish page sometimes, then remove the browser from the OS and make it optional to install!

Or, perhaps...
BillGates->ShootOff(mouth);
BillGates->Hallucinate(paranoia);
BillGates->Live(in_other_world);
BillGates->Reality() = false;
The number of methods of the MicrosoftCEO class is mind-boggling....
