The 'programming as poetry' idea is not original, though I'd be happy to concede you came up with it independently. Of course, (on this site at least,) the craze all began with my long since deleted felching "Trapped in Beige Curtains" - a work of extraordinary stupidity, to which the following extract will no doubt attest:
DO
Draw back the curtains
What do you see?
More beige curtains
LOOP
'Programming' is even a submittable poeme category, these days. So next time you think about having an original idea, for the love of Christ: don't. Thanks.

I like the way you rather icily put quotes around the icing. As if it wasn't really icing, but a thick velveteen coat of smarm.

An extraordinarily insightful poeme. Right from the opening couplet:
"There used to be a little fly
Who saw the world through all her eyes"
I knew that whatever followed was destined to be "unbelievably profound." Clearly what the world needs is more flies, more love from above, more presents for Saddam Hussein, and more religion. Especially in the Middle East. Flawless -10-

In Gethsemane, Jesu asked of the Lord (Matthew 26: 39) "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Clearly Jesu thought, on the off chance, that the Lord (who was also Jesu) may have known of a different, less grotesque method of cleansing us of our sins, and was only sending Jesu to His death more or less on a whim. Alas this was not so, but does it not portray the Bearded Carpenter during a momentary lapse into lukewarmedness? Good Christ I hope not.

I think it's obvious what she means by 'apt'. Not too sure about the 'honest' part, though :(

I also had no idea she was hypatia. I'm still not sure if she is, but it seems pretty likely that if she wasn't she'd have denied it by now. Unless, of course, she's in one of her 'rising above all the immaturity' moods :(

Surely Allah's tears do not need cleansing? Unless you think they become sullied when a load of Sri Lankan's live on top of them. By God you're probably right :(

I have never seriously denied being a Christian. But you tend to take everything -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. says incredibly seriously. If you must know I'm of Irish Catholic descent, and have been going to mass pretty much all my life. Perhaps the only difference between myself and other Catholics is that I don't go to confession as often. I put this down to the fact that while I come from a wealthy family, many members of the congregation where I live are quite poor, and while Catholicism held their families together, I suspect alcohol and poor education made temptation all the more, well, tempting. Forgive them Lord, they know not what they do etc. I don't hold it against them, and I don't think I'm any better for leading what some might consider a more righteous lifestyle. Compared to God, we're all "unbelievably appalling".

What could make you think "there are no differences in their ability to reason and to think through a given situation"? For example: Most men are unable to clearly think through the situation, "Buying a dress that goes with my new earrings." Similarly, most women are unable to clearly think through the situation, "Beating a man to death with his own shoes."
This "we're the same in all the areas that count" foofananny is the number one cause of women's hysteria in England today.

It is precisely because women are less spatially aware that they come to think such silly things.

But women don't find alternative ways of solving spatial awareness problems. They just parp. In all other domains, I am unaware of any significant differences between the sexes. If you're going to suggest important situations in which a lack of spatial awareness is an advantage, then that might constitute a refutation of my argument that mens are better than womens. As it is, you're parping about like the woman you are.
