/**
*
* This glorious Java class, details the best JDK 1.5 has to offer. In future
* years this small piece of wonder will be looked upon as legendary.
*
*
* Day after day, I am amazed by the beauty of this code. It really doesn't get
* any better than this, it truly is a masterpiece in every definition of the
* word. It truly is art in motion...an infinite living piece of our computer
* science history. WOW, I just really can't get over it, so beautiful, it's
* just so damn beautiful.
*
*
* Simply amazing...it's like looking at the world through the eyes of a child;
* much like enjoying the wind and the moon and the stars, with a soul
* undefiled. There is only one more thing I could possibly say...and that is
* "You're Welcome"
