"It's like watching somebody kill a beloved friend, then fuck the body." "Here at Ortillery Command we have at our disposal hundred megawatt laser beams, mach 20 titanium rods and guided thermonuclear bombs. Some people say we think that we're God. We're not God. We just borrowed his 'SMITE' button for our fire control system."

[image\|/forums/images/warning.png\|0\|This is sarcasm...] A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"
Post #186,251 by inthane-chan 12/7/04 10:58:14 AM Reply	Nope, not even a computer company. No more guesses, please. Should be fairly obvious from that comment.

He's using quantum programming methods: in universes where invalid data is passed to this function, it does not return. Thus you are ensured that you will only have valid data after calling it. Optimally you'd destroy the universe on failure, but computers haven't quite advanced to that level yet. -- [link\|http://thedailywtf.com/archive/2004/10/26/2920.aspx\|The] Daily WTF
