You tricky fellows! I tried that 'rm God' thing, but I just *knew* you guys
were up to something. Good thing I renamed God before I did it. Otherwise,
this "fun with unix" trick would have destroyed the one file I ever really
believed in! So before I rm'ed it, (and I might suggest you other neophytes
do the same before you try this at home), I first went like this:

    mv God Heaven

It worked! When I did the rm, I got that divinely humorous message:

    God: no such file or directory.

Sure cracked me up. I really liked 'got a light', too.
