[Bldg-sim] 20th Anniversary Attempt at Humor

Now, now, Jason.

Some people are quite sensitive about simulation run times. Several 
years ago when EnergyPlus got converted to C and somebody, clearly not 
that knowledgeable, wrote that now you can go get a cup of coffee and 
the run will be done.  I questioned that converting Fortran to C would 
have any effect on runtime, and found out later that comment had pissed 
off someone for months.

The biggest laugh I've had with BLDG-SIM postings were the ones like, "I 
want to learn XXX.  Please help me !!".
