Not me. Spewing forth before thinking is like drinking tea before it's
fully brewed: sure, it keeps you regular, but think of the FLAVOR you're
sacrificing...

All you need is one. :)

I can't speak for Rohit, but as for myself: anything times zero is still
zero...

off, and then one really bitchin' all-nighter. Hence the need for a
full seventh day of rest...
