I went to bed last night and wrote down a bit of code before getting tired. I put my folder on my bedside cabinet and went to sleep.

I woke up the next day with the folder on my bed and an extra 3 functions had been written.

Can anyone explain this Phenomenon???

I then realised after reading what i had written that there were new ideas implemented into the functions, that i must have thought up in my sleep.

Aha! - Lee flew down to your house read your mind and wrote down some code then flew off into the night!

... or maybe you banged your head and got amnesia, or maybe you were too tired to remember.

Lets get the code fairies and force 'em to expand our 30-day trials!!! Or upgrade DBC into DBP with their magic usb adaptor thingies that stop the "Insert disk" Thingy in DBP!

You don't want to try that - the code fairies can get pretty vicious when they're angry. They've got nasty little teeth and one helluva way with the recycling bin

Contrariwise, what is the world without the life? You fail to see the reverse of your arguments, and you are defeated.

I can't believe none of you have worked it out yet!!!!

Ryan obviously wrote a recursive function that called itself in the night.

Thanks in advance.

Watch the movie Memento . . . Just make sure you kill whoever it is around you that is the cheap character actor with the smirk and the mustache.
