Data Structures in Pop Culture
TV is educational. I recommend it particularly for CS students. Take this for example:Jeff: There's the Giggle Loop, of course.:: 'Sex, Death, and Nudity' - Episode 3, Series 1.
Steve: What?
Patrick: What's a Giggle Loop?
Jeff: Don't ask. To know about the Giggle Loop is to become part OF the Giggle Loop.
Steve: I think we can take it.
Jeff (breathing heavily): No, you're not ready for the Giggle Loop.
(Cut to empty beer glass)
Jeff: Basically, it's like a feedback loop...[Explains the Giggle Loop]
Jeff (in utter horror): ... and oh dear Christ, you think it is funny!
Bartender (looking at glasses): Excuse me. What're you doing?
Jeff: It's a Giggle Loop (!).
Bartender: It's not a loop, it's a stack.
Jeff: Well, I couldn't call it a Giggle Stack, now, could I?
Steve: That would sound ridiculous.
Patrick: Exactly!
