Funny. After having read most of Juval's book, I constantly tumble
across things involving interfaces or I try to extend the use of
interface to real life. My brain is fried.

Today the tumble was across a blog entry that compares interfaces and
abstract classes to the Peter Sellers movie "Dr. Strangelove". I just
thought I wanted to post the link here.
