I should start looking out for a rubber monk for my desk... Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!} PS: what a splendid merchandising idea to generate income for the monastery! xD "Confess all your bugs, you mortal hacker!!!"	[reply]

I was considering flying home for a family visit, and while there, trying to figure out how to steal this rubber duck. If your duck size correlated with the size of problems it allowed you to solve, no issue would be insurmountable!	[reply]

I have a rubber penguin (Tux) on the top of my screen. Is it ok? Or does it need to be a duck? Funnily, it was distributed in a fair by Microsoft (manufactured as an advertisement for the MS cloud, I believe).	[reply]

I have a rubber penguin (Tux) on the top of my screen. Is it ok? Or does it need to be a duck? Well, if I need a debugging aid, I force my intern into his debugging suit ... ;-) But yes, a penguin works fine, as does a teddy bear or a random co-worker that happens to pass by. Unless you need to debug Microsoft problems. In that case, having a large and reliable supply of sacrificial chicken, candles and pentagram chalk can sometimes help.

I don't play with ducks, the colleague that teached me Perl rather shown me the teddy bear's method: brian's Guide to Solving Any Perl Problem. The best programs are the ones written when the programmer is supposed to be working on something else. - Melinda Varian	[reply]
