Scientists exploring programming sediment in the Oscaterial region of the IBM mainframe unearthed more fossils of what scientists call a 'linked list'. The new finds, 65 million years old demonstrate that the head previously applied to linked lists is actually that of the data structure which frequented the Pilat Plains called the 'binary tree'. Scientists hope that with the heads properly applied, more can be learned about these ancient data structures. Julian -- "It's so easy to get bored." - Helmet
