Taste...

Our body is exactly like a highly object-oriented program should be. All of our bodily functions are nicely encapsulated and hidden from our perception. We can call up memories but we have no idea how they work. We can turn thoughts into words but we have no idea how we do it. The client (our conscious mind) knows how to call some important functions (not nearly all of them... we only know a fraction of what is happening in our own bodies) but not how any of them actually work. When something starts misbehaving our body throws an error message (pain, nausea, gas, etc) that gives us a general idea of what is wrong and (usually) is able to recover and keep going.

It even uses inheritance: Body -> System -> Organ -> Tissue -> Cell -> Molecule

Weird.

Heh...Imagine if your ram filled up and you suddenly went all jerky and then stopped.

why the hell cant we live with our body, instead of living alongside it? like why cant we tell our breathing to stop, or our mouth not to sneeze as im STANDING IN A LOCKER NEXT TO A GUARD WHO WANTS TO FIND, AND KILL ME!!!

Please stop comparing the human body to computer systems, microsoft will start getting ideas... and then bad, bad things will happen...

anyone seen dawn of the dead? yeah... like that, but the people don't actually move, instead they just freeze up totally saying "a fatal exception error 'HJHJBK435636' has occured" over and over again.

Seriously scary stuff.
