[aclug-L] Sunday joke: who's the better programmer?

["Clint A. Brubakken" <cabrubak@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jesus and Satan  are  chatting  one  day,  and  the  subject of computer 
programming  comes  up.  Soon, they're engrossed in an argument over who's the  
better  programmer.  This  debate goes on for hours, and finally they agree to  
hold a contest with God as the judge.  They sit down in front of their 
computers, God says "Go!" and they begin.

For hours they sit, typing furiously, lines of code streaming up both screens.  
Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes nearby 
and takes out the electricity.  Two seconds later, the power comes back, and 
God announces that the contest is over.

"Satan," God says.  "What did you come up with?"

Satan is visibly upset and cries out "Nothing!  I have nothing!  I lost it all 
when the power went out!"

"Very well.  Let's see how Jesus did..."
 
Jesus smiled, and hit a command on his computer.  Instantly the screen came 
alive  with  a  magnificent display of light and color, with angelic voices 
pouring forth from the speakers.
 
Satan is amazed. "How? I lost everything, but his program is still intact!  How 
did he do it?"
 
God chuckles.  "Jesus saves."
