Painless

Thank You.
When the world is mine, your death shall be quick and painless.

I was constantly surprised at the facility with which, by the aid of a few sonorous phrases, they refuted, without having comprehended me. They had learned, I know not where, that a monk... had formerly invented a mode of noting the gamut by ciphers: a sufficient proof that my system was not new.

I guess writing thread-safe event-based programming is hard, huh? ...given that the most clear "here's how you do it" I can find is http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/365292 and that ain't short.
