This one's for computer science geeks

If you suddenly, totally unexpectedly, came face to face with a segment of Charles Babbage's Difference Engine that was only a pane of glass away from you, would you also have the urge to lick it? Really think about it. The Difference Engine, right there. It's not a clear-cut situation.

(Note: Only the urge, not the action: the glass case is obviously impenetrable and non-tasty.)

alexander has dilemmas.

I can imagine wanting to lick a lollipop or an ice cream cone, but not a piece of computer hardware!
