Why is it called Sea World and not Barnacle Bailey's Sea Circus?

If you don't want to depend on the name of the original file, replace the #embed line with
```
#embed __FILE__
```

Thanks to the #c23 #embed macro, I may have written the world's shortest #quine.
```c
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){puts((char[]){
#embed"q.c"
,0});}
```
(I doubt that I'm the first to do this)
We just need to politely ignore the extra `\n` injected by `puts`. Otherwise, replace `puts` with `printf`.

Three alpacas, two kushed and one on the ground with his hip sideways and forelegs out, in their pasture. They face each other like they're conferring.

The Klingon version of "The Princess Bride" must've been really weird.

Inigo: I do not mean to pry, but do you have four testicles by any chance?

I girl I had a crush on didn't want to show her report card to her parents. I said I could get her a better one. This being shortly after "Wargames" came out, our classmates assumed I changed her grade in the computer system.

I just made a good forgery.

In the 8th grade I had a WHOLLY UNDESERVED reputation for being able to crack into the school's computer.

(It's the emphatic denial that helps to sell it.)

Two alpacas eating hay near a gate. A red/brown alpaca is kushed by the hay, and a white alpaca is standing next to the hay and looking at the camera.

They've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
They know the kings of England, and quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
They're very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
They understand equations, both the simple and quadratical.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adultsβ€”Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebeβ€”living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

A couple of decades ago, it was portable DVD players. When my son was a toddler, The Tigger Movie was his absolute favorite. We had a portable VHS player strapped to the back of the minivan's driver's seat. The longest 90 seconds in the history of eternities was the time it took to rewind the tape.

A screenshot from my textbook:  When introducing quarter precision floating points, the first edition of this textbook stated that 8-bit floating point types are too small for any practical use.

I've already been forced to acknowledge that 8-bit floating point types might, maybe, conceivably have a practical use outside of the classroom.

Dare I ask about Float4?

I've lost count of how often students turned in a solution they found on the internet--maybe with the proverbial serial numbers filed off, maybe not--and gave the excuse that they copied the code to help them learn.

No, you learn by mentally wrestling with the problem, not by pressing ctl-C,ctl-V.

A silver/gray alpaca standing in a barn doorway. He is facing away from the camera and looking out toward a snowy field. His posture suggests that he is not amused.
