(The posting frequency is amazing, and many texts

it would take too much time to answer them all.)[*]

What we certainly know for sure is...

All these channels are about 6000 years old.[**]

On the eighth day The Lord gave us stdin(0),
thus we were able to receive divine wisdom.
On the ninth day The Lord gave us stdout(1),
thus we could praise him for the wisdom he gave us.
But The Lord saw that it was not good.
So on the tenth day The Lord gave us stderr(2),
and thus we further knew that we are erring.

This apocryphal text undoubtedly proves what yet
had been only unproven claims.

[**] Some say that must be a fixed point number,
and it's effectively 60,00 years (or 60.00 in US
format). But anyway, "The Word" is what counts.
