Dec = Decimal
25 = 11001 (in binary)

So 31 in octal (base 8) is the same as 25 in decimal (base 10)

Oh, of course. How could I missed that? It is so obvious.

That was sarcasm, if you didn't notice.
No one better mess around with the size of the empty space.

Read this in a paper the other day.

Quote:

"An old lady wakes up to the river flooding her house. It gets so deep, she has to get up on the roof. A boat comes by, and she waves them on saying "The lord will provide". It gets deeper, as another boat is coming by, but she waves them by, again saying "The lord will provide". It get so deep that she has to get on the chimney, but she waves another boat on by saying "The Lord will provide". Eventually, it gets so deep that she drowns. She gets to heaven, soaking wet at the pearly gates. She walks up to god, angry and says "Why did you let me die lord?" and God says "For christ's sake lady, I sent you three boats".

I barely remember one from school. It went something like this:

Little Sammy was thirsty,
Poor little Sammy is no more,
For what he thought was H2O,
Was H2SO4.
