            //{ who cares?)

    }

Since sleep() is static it is better to invoke it through the class
rather than the instance:

Thread.sleep( 1000 );

Note that invoking sleep() as you did will not put Thread "t" to sleep.

<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html#sleep(long)>

Note also that Thread "t" will end very quickly after you start it. It
will take about as long as a "return" execution to stop.

.... thx, but what about my overall code? i don't understand how you can
call a method with no args and then just start using everything? should
i decare these 'things' in the main so they are global???
