WOW! what a great site ! lots of fun to read. and that example is ridiculous.

It's especially great for me right now because i just started a new job where I am replacing 3 programmers who had some, um, interesting programming "techniques".

I've already submitted my first example !!

great site, thanks for the link, Mark.
