To whoever it is with OCD so severe that they were compelled to remove the tape that keeps my headlight/standlight permanently “on” before messing with it and knocking it off horizontal: get help, please.

Philomena: Some people have been writing PHP for over 20 years. Is that because it's particularly difficult to finish?
Expert: No, software is constantly evolving.
Philomena: So they've been writing the same website for 20 years?
Expert: No, different projects.
Philomena: Have they tried finishing one before starting another?
Expert: That's not how software development works.
Philomena: My mate Paul spent 20 years building a shed. Turned out he was just an alcoholic.
Expert: Right.

And the little girls sing: Ooooeee. Sharkey!
He's Mister Heartbreak. They sing: Oooeee. That Sharkey!

And Sharkey says: Lights! Camera! Action! TIMBER!
