That's not funny. Horrifying, maybe, but not funny.

Edit: Strike 'maybe'. I looked at it again and it's definitely horrifying. I saved it anyway, though; Halloween's only a few weeks off, and I think I shall print it out and stick it on the wall of my cube next to the PHP hammer and the "periodic" table of Perl 6 operators.

kudos. almost as cool as the cpp template hack to compute area based on part of the source code 'ascii art' size. (which I can't find anymore. googlefu--)

Made me laugh :)
