Abraham's House

Abraham's House was the name once given to a ruined structure at Ramet-el-Khulil near Hebron. It was identified as the spot where the Biblical character Abraham pitched his tent beneath the oak (sometimes identified as a terebinth) of Mamre. This oak was for centuries venerated as an object of worship, until Constantine supposedly put a stop to this practice by erecting a basilica.

gollark: See, there are exactly 16 registers, one of which, r0, always contains 0, and one of which, rf, is the program counter, and many of the instructions take a 4-bit value representing which register to pull from.

gollark: <@!330678593904443393> You would pass it 6 register indices.

gollark: 32 registers would probably allow room for more fun stuff, like the program metacounter register.
