The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Color me stupid, I thought the b*****s was the person's name. Note, my initials are B.S. In my case, the manager's name was put into the message replacing the b******s.

Now that i understand your true meaning...
I have a client who is paying top price for a website face lift. I was doing an A/B compare on the test release of the site in FireFox and IE. I must admit they did a good job with absolutely no difference between the two browsers. Curious as a cat, I decided to view the source code in hopes of getting the link to their Java Script file and any style sheets for future reference. Paging down in the source i found a hidden DIV where a developer left a large does of his explicitive filled comments regarding the client. HOLY-COW! I couldn't believe what i was reading, and can't repeat any of it here.

Regardless, it's all pretty funny stuff.
