I think it's more of an art than a science, tsuwm, perhaps even a black art. As our artist-in-residence you've certainly made an artform of it.

It's a skill in which I am sorely lacking, apparently. I was looking for something in the refrigerator recently, but gave up in frustration. (A fruitless search for an apple, as I recall.) My wife, who took two milliseconds to find it right in the front, said: "You look like a man". Fortunately for me, she doesn't.
