God Used C++

Here I am sitting in front of a Macintosh IIci. I am watching out just in case anyone witness me sitting in front of a Mac. I am an anti MAC but what the heck there’s no PC around. PC users will forgive me ... I hope.

I met God the other day, he’s such a funny guy. He creates people for a living. I mean, who would do such a thing. The worst part is he does it voluntarily, "Come on be real now, Everyone needs money to survive", I advised him. "Everything is not money my son.", God replied. "Yeah Sure!, so what are we doing here then. We are just money oriented people, no money no people."."Well, you are just a program which I wrote years ago", he said to me with an ego.

"Program? I am a program?", I was stunned. "Yeah a program that self modifies, you got to know C++ with some knowledge of AI to do it.",he said affirmatively. It seems that his ancestors created the Galaxies and made it available through the standard package that came with C++. "LISP would be ideal, but I hate programming the galaxy thing all over again, you know what I am saying ..", sounded like as it if came from Snoop Doggy Dog."Besides C++ allows me to use object-orientated programming.", he said as if OOP runs in his blood. "How big is it?", I asked with curiosity.

"Only 4K worth of codes!", he spoke while picking up a file from his drawer. "This is the code", he continued. It was only about 5 pages long."I run on a five page code and that’s it?", I thought to myself."Of course it is only five pages long, its in C++ and besides its a self modifying code ... I am sure yours is as big as 4GB now ...", he anwswered as if he read my mind. He took back his code and said, "I worked hard for this, my lecturer made me go through hell for this. My final project was to create planets on Milkyway and put life on all the planets.I pleaded with my professor to reduce the work load, but he refused. So here I am still creating life", he versed with frustration. Gods beeper beeped .."beep, beep ..".

He pushed the button on the beeper, and ‘zoom’ came out a PC which set on the desk. It had ‘Intel Inside’ written on it. I stood up with confidence and asked him, "Is this yours?"."Yup!", he anwered with such pride. "Excuse me for a while.", he asked permission not to be disturbed. After a while he screamed, "YES! YES! My program works …I created a life in MARS", he sounded as excited as I would be when I m done with my program. "Gotta, go!", he said, zipped himself and vanished away. He left his PC behind. As I stared at the monitor, there was this piece of code on one of the opened windows:

// God 
// Project Mars vers 1.0 
// Date: Zema 234 1299966734 
// Professor: Sivan
// Class:712, Galaxies and life. 
// 
// This program is intended to create life. It uses the previously declared
// class ‘HumanBeing, which is included from ‘classEarth.h’. ….. 
.
.
//

#include 
#include "classEarth.h"
#include "atmosphere.h"
#include "life.h"
.
.
.
class MarsBeing
{
FLESH Hand, Leg, Body, Head;
BLOOD Veins, Arteries, Cappilaries;
VISION Eyes, MataKumpuan;
.
.
public:
BEING( FLESH *, BLOOD *, VISION *, ….); //Constuctor
REPLICA( BEING &);  // copied form another object
~BEING();    // destructor

void *operator new(unsigned);
.
.
.
};

I quit, I am not that good to understand this crap yet. I am glad my projects are not as bad ... Thank Goodness.
