function throttle (callback, limit) {
    var wait = false;                  // Initially, we're not waiting
    return function () {               // We return a throttled function
        if (!wait) {                   // If we're not waiting
            callback.call();           // Execute users function
            wait = true;               // Prevent future invocations
            setTimeout(function () {   // After a period of time
                wait = false;          // And allow future invocations
            }, limit);
