On engineers..

There's an old anecdote. Probably fabricated..
The CEOs of 5 major software firms boarded a plane. Minutes before takeoff, each was informed that the plane used some software components designed by their firm. Each of them promptly remembered something urgent and walked off. Except the last one. "How many flights have you had so far?" he asked. "27 on this plane" said the stewardess.

"Ah. Then I'm good. You may want to take a holiday on the 30th one."

I was reminded of this while at the doctor's yesterday. Wasn't there for me.

I wanted to try the same exercise on whoever created us. You know, walk up and ask.. "Er. This body was created by you. Care to live in it ?". I hope God wouldnt walk away. No, God wouldn't. God would know what exactly would cause the body to break and stay away from all problems. Sadly, we weren't exactly handed an owner's manual at birth, and never know what's up next round the corner. Got to admit though, God's arranged for some pretty brainy engineers to maintain stuff.

Anyways.. I'll keep this short. Thought the analogy was interesting so put it up here. Here's wishing everyone a healthy life, or atleast access to a good doc.
