I'm about a 1/3 of the way through gutting Gplex. I think this could take me weeks.
All of this because I couldn't get one algorithm entirely correct. My punishment is slogging through arcane, undocumented code and completely retooling it. Somehow.
Oh well. The hard part will be making it language independent. Gplex is very much C# centric

You call it punishment now, but from what I gather that's just what you do for "fun" 
Gplex also sounds like a Google product.
It's actually a real estate firm[^] from Malaysia where all employees, from top management to senior management and team managers, look the same age.

That's because Real Estate Agents have a different genetic structure to the rest of us: they have but a single helix, and dissolve into slime rather than ageing as true DNA equiped individuals do.

Modified?
Current bibles are translations of translations and edits of edits of edits (*30-ish), and all the translations and edits were performed by partisan people with their own axes to grind, so there's nothing to stop you or anyone else adding their own spin to it..
Anyway, for all we know, your version could be the closest to the original.
Personally, though, I think it was probably a lot more like Harry Potter.

(Takes out wand) Amendo Scriptorium!
Translating from the Hebrew, the original English version of the verse I quoted is probably quite close to what Moses brought down the mountain. We have the Aleppo Codex of the entire Bible which dates back to the early 10th Century, and fragments that match it date back much further. The parts that have been most often changed are the parts that supposedly predict the coming of Jesus - replacing "Young Woman" in the original with "Virgin", etc.

One of them isn't a man, I mean, "Croissant cream". Come on!
That one is bread.

I thought that too. Perhaps a really really gay man named that color.

Milk for white?
Any man would've called it white!
Also, just pink, another pink and a third pink.
Green, brown, probably light blue if not just blue...
Most of these names are way too complicated for men 
|
|
|
|

The important point, of course, is that if these colors were in separate holders and the labels fell off it would not be difficult for anyone to put them back on the correct holder. If men had named them.
Try figuring that out with the female oriented color scheme currently engulfing choking the industry.

For some reason - and I have no idea why, the first response that came to mind was eating rice with one chopstick.
I'll work on why it came to mind, you may wish to work on what my id meant.

The hardcover is $4.96 (on same page). So, tell me:
If I buy the hard-cover and tear off the hard cover, how much do you think I could get for it?
