During the break in the java class the professor stopped to recount how he had spent his weekend. He hadn't watched baseball because despite living near Comisky park in Chicago and Fenway in Boston he had never lasted more than 4 innings.

Instead he went to worcester to watch Brazilian ballet.

“I never saw anything like it. They were jumping and spinning so fast that I couldn't see them turning. Boy was it loud and I had a headache by the time we left. They had a lot of drums. It was less like a ballet and more like a sporting event.”

This was from the same guy who left me dizzy only minutes before in describing the recursive algorithm used by java to do a quick sort. I was barely keeping pace with the bubble sort. Now we are on to multidimensional arrays. Can you say int[][] arr = new int[2][].
