Mark;

I find the whole idea of filing a bug report with God is funny as hell. I can just imagine the next panel, with God saying: “Evolution will fix that in the next hundred generations. In the meantime, there is a work-around available at http://www.skeptic.org.“

Mark:

The decision of whether or not to fix the change and incorporate it into the next version is not necessarily up to God; it must be discussed at the next SCCB meeting by the SCCB. God can only work on approved change requests.

Thrall, I think that is what Phil et al mean. Our disgruntled friend in the last panel is submitting a bug report and the bug report is what won’t work i.e. will be ignored. Which is probably why the cartoon ends there. Which way does it go from there? God says “OK my child, bug will be eliminated at our next scheduled update”? Or God says “I’m sorry, tech support hours are 9 – 5. Please pray back then”? The joke works better left unfinished.
