WTF??? He walks down a mountain (probably barefoot), in a big old unruly beard, he rants and raves, he's in a bad mood, and he's got rules engraved in stone. That definitely sounds like a C++ programmer to me!

Bite your tongue. Moses (especially the Charleton Heston version) was definitely a C/C++, native application sort. None of this namby-pamby-ooooh-I-can't-manage-my-own-memory crap for him.

I think he means that you are going to bring down the plagues on the clients. Obviously this is a mixed bag - on the one hand, you've got the fun of causing all the pestilence, etc... on the other hand though, you will be responsible for the sacrifice of all of the first born requirements. BTW - the project requirements will be delivered to you out of a burning bush. On a sad note - Charlton Heston isn't available to play you in the film version.

That's absolutely not true. Anyone remember this one? --> "A programmer trying to use a good analogy is like a chicken trying to farm broccoli. There's never enough tire pressure." - brianwelsch This one's so bad it's beautiful and it NEVER gets ugly!

Well you almost got me there. But I said, "doesn't likely." That gem is quite unlikely, the exception that whatever it does.... Please have another 5 with my complements. :)

Some recruiter just emailed me stating a company was looking for a Moses to lead their team. I replied that I couldn't promise it would take 40 years. Is there just a book of bad analogies out there? Or am I just overly sensitive to improper allusions?

Well, according to "God: the Ultimate Autobiography" by Jeremy Pascall (the "holy ghost-writer"), God mumbles something about Gomorrahmy. All that is intelligible is that it somehow involved a goat and a plunger. BTW, if you want to laugh, pick up that book. It's amazing.

Why, yes, Sodom and Gomorrah were full of gay, happy, wild people. That is until someone forgot to invite God to their 21st orgy and he burnt it all down, or something. My Bible history is a bit rough. But definitely gay and happy for awhile.
