True, the pirates also enjoyed innocent merriment, especially paradoxes. These days I'm so frustrated with google's race to the bottom that I often use wiki as my search engine of choice. I really want a Do What I Said (DWIS) search engine with regexen.
Bubble sort is an N**2 sort; for a reasonable number of items, any of the standard N log N sorts should beat it hands down. Coding bubble sort in assembler is putting lipstick on a pig. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Interesting wiki Seymour. I did write some programs on the Apple II in Basic and remember those huge pauses. We did a lot of memory string sorting to get ordered data from the primitive floppy disks. We thought it was our assembler bubble sort that was the culprit. Maybe not.
