Found a funny way of explaining CPU paralisation

[R.C.Anderson]

Whilst waiting for my PC to do some calculations at work, I was looking to see if the program can utilise multiple cores. Whilst searching, I found an interesting (and I thought amusing) was of explaining how paralisation works with CPUs, and how not everything can utilise multiple cores:

It's also worth noting that some applications simply can't be rewritten to take into account multiple cores. It mostly depends on how parallelizable the process is. A simple example of non-parallelizable process would be human reproduction: One woman can make one child in 9 months. Nine women can make 9 children in 9 months, but you can't use 9 women to manufacture a single child in one month.

Just thought I would share, as I thought it was amusing, and might make some people smile

You can, it's just all the other 8 women have left to do is all the housework and nagging!

Which, knowing the women of modern day leaves only nagging...

... yet.

On a side note, this is quite a popular one.
