Pareto principle

In computer science the Pareto principle can be applied to resource optimization by observing that 80% of the resources are typically used by 20% of the operations. In software engineering, it is often a better approximation that 90% of the execution time of a computer program is spent executing 10% of the code.

WENT TO A PARTY, MUM

I went to a party, And remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom So I had a sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn't drink and drive, Though some friends said I should. I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right, The party finally ended, And the kids drove out of sight. I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was coming, Mom Something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mom, his voice seems far away. My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, This girl is going to die. I'm sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high, ! Because he chose to drink and drive, Now I would have to die. So why do people do it, Mom Knowing that it ruins lives? And now the pain is cutting me, Like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom Tell daddy t...

Have I ever...

(Simple enough.... bold the ones you've done, non-bold the ones you want to!) Bought everyone in the pub a drink Swam with wild dolphins Climbed a mountain Taken a Ferrari for a test drive.... ooh, so want to do this! Been inside the Great Pyramid Held a tarantula (not a tarantula but chameleon) Taken a candlelit bath with someone Said 'I love you' and meant it Hugged a tree Done a striptease (durin hostel ragging) Bungee jumped Visited Paris Watched a lightning storm at sea Stayed up all night long, and watch the sun rise Seen the Northern Lights Gone to a huge sports game Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa Grown and eaten your own vegetables Touched an iceberg Slept under the stars Seen the Himalayas from one foot away Taken a trip in a hot air balloon Watched a meteor shower Gotten drunk on champagne Given more than you can afford to charity Looked up at the night sky through a telescope Had an uncontrollable giggling fit at the worst possible mome...
