That eureka moment

All night I toiled away on a bit of code that needed to take some simple data, properly process it, and output back relevant information extracted from it. A task that should have been quite simple had it not been for a rather stupid logic fault on my part, which caused the whole thing to keep crapping out on me.
So beeing frustrated and tired, I decided to forget about it for tonight and go get ready for bed. While geting ready I hopped in the shower as I'm prone to do in my getting ready for bed ritual, and while double shampooing the Ice™ out of my hair, I had that most awsome of eureka moments. I clearly saw in my head, that line of code that was causing me all the grief, and saw how to solve it. Lo and behold, I get back to the computer, fix the line, and everything works beautifully.

Archimedes would be proud of me, and I think a little impressed... not from my moose like proportions mind you. No, I meant more from the running hot water/indoor plumbing thing. Afterall it is an acient Greek we're talking about here.
