How do I make code LOOK beautiful? Occasionally, I see these snippets of code where everything looks very aligned and orderly, the variables all seem the same length, the functions are all neatly aligned.
My code on the other hand always looks rough and shoddy. What do the people with neat code do to make it look so neat?

What are retorts for some common sayings? For example, when people say: "The early bird gets the worm", you could retort "The second mouse gets the cheese".
Which other ones are out there?

I need some music recommendations in the style of Barry White. In particular, I'm looking for the type of music which one could imagine would play when a bachelor walks into his penthouse, pushes a button, and a bar swivels around, the lights dim, and Barry starts crooning.

I think the moderators should please actually READ the
question before deleting it. I asked a valid question about dinner table conversation, and the moderator deletes it on reading the word "troll". I cry unfair!

My new shareware - a vocabulary trainer
I've been working on the new tool that I hope will make me a few hundred bucks a month. It's a language trainer that learns the words you don't know and shows them to you more often.
This is the initial tool, I'm going to expand it soon to include a web based word trainer.

After being baptized, Jesus immediately went into the desert for 40 days, where he was
tempted by the devil.
When he came back, he was a transformed man. He was suddenly spouting very clever things (still quoted 2000 years later), and in a few weeks, he had a constant crowd of hundreds to thousands of people around him.
What can happen in 40 days that transforms a man from an uneducated carpenter to the greatest philosophical influence that ever existed?

What did Einstein actually contribute to the modern world? With some scientists, you could say - he made the lightbulb, the other would be - without his help, the computer would not be possible, yet another - he made the first prototype of the airplane.
Well, what did Einstein actually do?
