Some Vi riddles :

-- Why is Vim like the Number Seven (7) ?

--- Why are Vi-users so attractive and easy to get along with?

--- How do you describe a Positive, Active, Up-beat Vi user?

--- What do you call a vicious, harsh criticism by Vi-haters?

--- What do you call a person who can see the Long-Term Future of text editing?

-- Why are Norwegians so good at editing files using Vi ?
