    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?

    Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is.

        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.

                  That exists only for Buddhists. They get the Redo From Start option.

                      c++ must be the most poignant:

                      ~Keith();

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

                      for (var what in death.sleep)
                      {
                      what = "dreams";
                      }

                            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.
