The other day, I sat down to eat a 2 Kg block of chocolate - one of those ones that's divided into lots of little squares. I proceeded to recursively subdivide it into smaller and smaller blocks, and then eat the individual squares in depth-first order. It was only after getting through 16 of the things that I stopped to notice that the whole bar just happens to have an exact power of two squares on it.
And it was some time after *that* when I thought to myself "...woah, maybe do too much Haskell?" o_O
Seriously, who recursively subdivides their food? I think I have something wrong with me...
