The Inception Movie explained to my son (by Donald Duck, none the less) [1]. Almost all the scenario and the "innovative" concepts of the film come from a 2004 Scrooge McDuck comic.
I've linked to Cracked (even though they might not be seen as the most serious source) because their account is detailed and very documented.

For the lazy, this is how the output of running the program looks: https://gist.github.com/840077
Can somebody please intercept the code for me? Seems I am in deep dream; not able to figure out the code.
Hmmm. Why the cryptic assembly language stuff? Surely this isn't (_very_) cleverly disguised malware...
Why? So terribly convoluted

Can I submit a bug report? The code says:
> the ending is still a state of limbo
Limbo is a world which allegorically represents the mortal world (Matthew 7.24). The ending is a heaven sequence. Cobb demonstrates faith by rejecting Mal and then sacrifices his life to rescue Saito. This triggers a symbolic death ("you have to die to wake up") followed by the forgiveness of sins (at immigration) and the reunion of the family in the heavenly garden. This is classic Christian allegory and it's amazing more people aren't commenting on it.
The ending is no more a dream than heaven is hell. And the only significance of the spinning top is that Cobb ignores it (another demonstration of faith). That said, since it's an interesting question how one models death and redemption in code, my suggestion would be a segfault and then return to root?
