    Three things wrong with that statement. 0. Its not C (as has been pointed out) 1. Its not terminated properly which is ironic on a tombstone 2. Its ought to be "Goodbye, cruel world!"

      Which programming language to use on your tombstone?[^]. At the moment I am thinking Forth but am still trying to work out some suitable code. [Edit] I think :Goodbye 42 Emit 8 Emit CR ; .Goodbye [/Edit] What would be your choice?

        Ah, but in which language? I mean, that looks very much like a C++ ; to me.

                You should add try and catch to handle a LifeThreadAbort exception, just in case you do not quite make it to 100000000 breaths.

                        c++ must be the most poignant:

                        It even looks bleak somehow. Though this might be good (c#):

                              On a gravestone they usually have the birthdate and the date of death, so you should have a constructor as well.

                                          I chose VB because it just won't die... :) If Gone And Name <> forgotten Then Dead = True

                                          It was broke, so I fixed it.
