Well, in FORTRAN, GOD is REAL (and JESUS is INTEGER, but that's not as funny). Even modern fortran has to maintain this feature for legacy reasons, leading one to add 'implicit none' to the beginning of each module etc.

Well, in "Fortran has one. But not C", "not C" can be interpreted as "The number of these for C is different from 1". ;)
