Rudyard once explained, Dear Dedalus, that once upon a time there was a whale in the sea who ate fishes. Kipling wove a suspenseful tail that tells how the whale got his throat. But don't you wonder, O Dear Dedalus, how the sea got the whale? For that matter, how on earth did the sea come to be?
Let's suspend our quest for tales of whales for a moment and go back to the very beginning. Many persons who are not conversant with mathematical studies might think this is hard. But in fact it's much easier than Pi. What can possibly go wrong when nothing is right?
Give this a try:
- Make a head with a title nested inside it.
- Then perch it on a barren body.
- Toss in a comment or two—maybe a few.
(But you must not forget the comments, Dear Dedalus.)
With those elements, which are bounded by tags, and the comments (which you must not let lie) arranged just so in that text box (on the Code tab over there), making this or that or nothing at all transforms this page into a formless void.
(Have you forgotten the comments, Daedalus?)
and thence proceed to greater.

What is a computer?
All boys and no girls doesn't make Jack. Where are all the women?
Historically, women in computing have had an effect on the evolution of the industry, with some of the first programmers during the early 20th century being female.- Ada Lovelace was the first person to publish an algorithm intended to be executed by the first modern computer. (She is also Ada (Marie) Twist, Scientist’s namesake!)
- Grace Hopper was the first person to create a compiler for a programming language and one of the first programmers of the Mark I computer.
- Adele Goldberg was one of the seven programmers that developed Smalltalk in the 1970s, one of the first object-oriented programming languages, the base of the current graphic user interface, that has its roots in the 1968 The Mother of All Demos by Douglas Engelbart.
- Frances E. Allen (1932–), became the first female IBM Fellow in 1989. In 2006, she became the first female recipient of the ACM's Turing Award.
- Anna R. Karlin is an American computer scientist, the Microsoft Professor of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. Karlin's research interests are in the design and analysis of online algorithms and randomized algorithms, which she has applied to problems in algorithmic game theory, system software, distributed computing, and data mining.

Tons of fun!
What if I still have questions?
