Like I said...Don't Ask Me Why...
I am not sure exactly what I was thinking, what I might have meant this for,
or where I got the parts for this, but I found this amongst my 3Tb of crap
accumulated over the last 1.5 decades in a folder of stuff I have done.
So...Yeah...
Only now have I had the technology to render this in under a few months
time, so I did.
Again, don't ask me why.
I am fully confident that my answer would be totally unsatisfactory, and
might probably drive most insane..
There are other files of greater interest which I will post once I figure
out just WTF I was trying to do with them... ;-D
For what ever it may or may not be worth, (NEVER assume that I care..)

Can we ask "why not?" It looks odd, but pretty nice to me.
Can we ask "how ?"
>render this in under a few months time
.... uh, nevermind

Well thank you. ;-)
I think this file was one of those "screwing around" files because I coded
it awfully, and it would seem I got chunks of it (textures/settings) from
other places.
But I really don't know anymore.

Well its not so bad now, it only took 30-45min on a e6600 w/4Gb. I forgot
exactly, I had a few after rendering this, so..
I'm not on some super machine or anything...keep in mind the first attemt to
render this was made on a 350mhz w/64mb...
Hmm...apparently I have some "high quality" settings which I have commented
out.
Lets just see what that does, shall we?
You know, looking at the code, I *think* its only possible use was to
emulate the appearance of a fountain of some kind, perhaps a beta for the
water flowing from one of those tiered fountains....I have no idea now.

Absolutely.
It shouldn't be too bad using modern machines.
Bet there is that block of "high quality" settings.
I haven't rendered the scene with that block enabled yet, so I don't know
wether it looks better with it on or if that little block will make
everything look like hammered dog$#!t. ;-D
