So...if God (or other anthropomorphic personification of your choice) can do anything (and they say he can). Then can he make a rock so big and so heavy that even he can't lift it?

Yes he can. He just doesn't, because he's not in the mood. So, until he does that specific thing, he STILL can do anything.

It's like Superman deciding to lose his powers. He can (so "Superman 2" taught us), but until he does, he has them.

(I'm not saying there aren't other logical issues with the concept, though.)
does any1 use opera(browser) pop-out video, wondering if any others have find more like it

It's only a matter of positionning the candles strategically.

Mind if I ask you something?

What makes the thing you are referring to holy (as opposed to being not holy or unholy)?

I don't feel like I'm being heavy here, so how could I lighten up? I am just joking around, and while that isn't usually a good excuse, I think it is when told to "lighten up".

Although, I am seriously wondering how the word "holy" got into that expression in the first place.

(By the way, speaking of random stuff, I happened to learn that the Linux kernel has a system call that will (intentionally) write random data into an address in the process's address space.)

Swearing uses the transgressive violence of taboo words. Taboos are either the (considered) sacred or the (considered) obscene. Swearing, being mostly nonsensical (the important thing being the snappy taboo breaching), is often made of random, more or less playful, combinations of them. When it's not euphemisms, adding even more silliness to it (and the 60s Batman series added the topical mundane to the fun), but that's another story.
HERE!

Now lets move on! :P
What happens to games when the company owning the game becomes defunct? Is the game abandoned / lost or is someone still owning the game / source code?

The exact answer likely depends on the laws of the country in which the now-defunct company was located but in most Western-style capitalist democracies I suspect the answer is some variation of the idea that because the game is an asset it continues to be owned by whatever person(s) or organization(s) owned the company, unless some alternate legal arrangement is made such as:
1. A pre-existing contract that assigns ownership of the game (and possibly related assets) to another person, group, or organization (such as an investor or publisher) in the event the company folds
2. A bankruptcy proceeding that awards the company's assets to a creditor or sells the company's assets to raise funds to pay off creditors
3. A sale arranged by the company's owner(s) to recover whatever monetary value they can from the now-defunct company
4. An estate or probate proceeding (in the event the company's owner was an individual who is now deceased) that transfers ownership of the deceased's assets to another person or organization according to the deceased's will and/or the laws of the country involved
