I sing it every morning before I hit the keyboard, 200 technicians in perfect 10 * 20 formation doing choreographed exercises singing _I come from a land down under_ prepares the communal mind for a good days graft.

Probably too young; the Ruby community is not ageist :-). Men At
Work was not a recent band at all. Same era as Saturday Night Fever,
as far as I recall.

Just seeing those lyrics brings to mind the MTV video that was produced
for that track. Gawd, that was *too* long ago!

I don't know. How old are you, and how British are you? ;)

As for Rick's reference, I do remember the Men at Work song,
from 1983 or so. (Gack, that was 23 years ago. Who permitted
that to happen?)

As for the reply by J2M, I think that was just surrealism.

Age may as yet be indeterminate but I think we can resolve that
Britishness:

Gulp... pregnant (geddit) pause for reflection ;)

I have already started work on a web development framework for those of
us who remember this song from the first time round; Ruby on
Stabilizers (and a speed limiter plugin)

Have you every worked for a large American multinational corporation...
as close to old communist China as I would like to get. I must now go
and code this application.. I know it is pointless, but the chairman
demands it! ;)
