January 16, 2003 (idea)

I sit in the lecture hall, listening to a somewhat unineteresting discussion on floating point representation schemes, when the topic of bit-shifting came up. My professor said something which, I believe, was not intended to come across as funny, but it had me in silent stitches.

Sometimes we want to. . .
Move it down . . .
Move it UP! . . .
. . . move it around.

And here I didn't know my professor was a member of an early 90s hip-hop gang.
