A physician, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was
the oldest profession in the world. The physician remarked, "Well, in the Bible, it says
that God created Eve from a rib taken out of Adam. This clearly require a surgery, and so
I can rightly claimt that mine is the oldest profession in the world". The civil engineer
interrupted, and said, "But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created
the order of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and
certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor,
you are wrong: mine is the oldest profession in the world." The computer scientist leaned
back in her chair, smiled, and then said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"
