When I curse / pray, I invoke

• the nameless Master of the Universe
• a conventional, historical religious figure (Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha)
• a conventional, historical non-religious figure (Groucho Marx, Charles Babbage, Raquel Welch)
• simple, classic scatology
• the Flying Spaghetti Monster
• Aule, creator of Dwarves, patron of Programmers
• Chthulu
• Great Caeser's Ghost
• Shazam
• Larry Wall
• I don't; cursing / praying is for the weak
• Other

Revised to include Aule, as per ambrus.

I ask for the blessings of Aulë, the lord of all earthly matter, master in all sciences and crafts, and personification of the programmer's virtues: wanting to automate things instead of doing them by hand, impatience, and pride of creating and owning something unique.

A fellow Dwarf! I knew I wasn't alone!

Do I have your permission to add him to the list?
