Because I’ve been listening to one of the greatest metal bands ever: Living Sacrifice. That’s right, they’ve come back to say “What now, contemporary christian music?? Bring it!” , and even though I’m not a Christian anymore, I can always enjoy me some LS. If you’re interested in treating yourself to pure awesomeness, you can surf your way over to their myspace page (may the Internets forgive them) and listen for yourself. Be prepared: THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

I’ve been doing a lot of interviews here at work lately, because we’re trying to find a few mid-grade .NET developers to augment our staff.  One thing that always surprises me is how little developers actually know about object oriented programming.  We typically ask questions like: “Describe inheritance.” or “What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface?”.  I’ve been trying to think of some new questions to ask, and as I was heading into work this morning, one popped into my head:

Q: What is Redneck polymorphism?
A: The ability to use any tool as a hammer.

Yeah, it’s not funny unless you’re a programmer.
