lol. A friend of mine wrote some code once that I managed to get hold of that had a loop in it that would never exit.. kind of looked like this :

hellfreezesover == 0

do
.
.
until hellfreezesover


It's been a long time since I saw it so I've made it a bit more "friendly" but I thought that was class.

Later I discovered that he put the hellfreezesover variable declaration into his include file that he used in all his development at that time lol.

The best one in that thread is

/* Procedure to start streaming server. Otherwise known as that big black bitch.

- Sacrifice a small puppy to the Gods of mobile ip. If no puppies are availible, use two cats.
- Spin around 3 times in your chair clockwise and 5 times anti-clockwise.
- Pledge your soul to Steve, the blacksmith of dodgy wireless card drivers.
- run ./startup_you_*******_piece_of_****.sh and click your heels 90 times with your eyes closed while mumbling the words "work you miserable ****".

Warning: Any attempt to run this procedure more then 1000 times (Yes everyone we've beena at this for 3 ******* days) will result in permanent insanity. */

Whilst we're on this topic I found this page : http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/programming-and-development/?p=445

If you’ve got an Oracle MetaLink account, you can look it up for yourself — the document ID is 218625.1. This is essentially the entire sum of that document:

Error Text: BIB-14820 The root path does not exist.

Cause: The specified root path cannot be found.

Action: Specify an existing root path.

bwahahaha...
