Refactoring code is generally seen as fairly high risk when there is a lot of code to change.
Do you use unit tests much where you work?
I would write some unit tests for the current code then refactor to prove that the unit tests are not broken.
Of course - the proof of not having broken anything will only be as good as your unit tests.
Good luck!

I think you may have started another "colour of the bike shed thread".
The premise being that in complicated decisions like approval for changes to a Nuclear reactor - everyone thinks its so complex they approve because someone else will have checked before them. But when choosing which colour to paint the bike shed - everyone wants to leave their mark - and so there can be no agreement on the best colour.
DO a google search - I'm sure the original discussion is described better than mine

That sounds like a variation of the Two Dances One Liquor pattern to me.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If your bathtub has become boring and uninteresting: Go take a bath in it![^]
Edit: You can also use the tub as a tank![^]

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

In reality we would lead a boring life if it were not for such wacky projects.
The big question is, where is this reality place and what must I do to never end up there?

Call me "Old Fashioned", but the way to make a bathtub more fun is to invite an attractive young lady to help you scrub. Preferably . . . (if you don't get it you never will; go build a sub).

A backwards state contains Chicago and it surrounds Atlanta; it's just confused not wrong, but the result's a tie! (8)

I thought it was pretty clever\funny *shrug* You have to remember it is in the context of a stand-up routine, it's not a joke you tell when someone says "Tell me a joke".
