Well I got this thread idea from one of Doom's threads.

Beta on a software program means that it isn't done yet and you can patch and patch and patch.

I was thinking what else could we use Beta for? Like something on a car, a person, piece of random equipment, food and etc. I'm trying to come up with some comical ideas. Post yours! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Naw, death is just another patch. Then you get more patches, like decomposition and being eaten by bugs...

    yea...

    I figured decomposition is just your source code being scrounged through to be used in other programs.
