      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?

            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:

                          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.
