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.

I know the show that kills Kenny, because of an article I read that talks about it. (At least if I see the show's name, I'll also remember it kills Kenny) The article didn't say why they kill Kenny and I've only watched about 40 seconds tops to see if I wanted to watch it. Is it some group mindset that causes them to want to kill Kenny? Of course the writers put it in because it is funny to constantly kill the same person over and over and... (Which is why I could stand about 40 seconds of their humor.)

What a scalawag that Columbus was, eh? I also like your alternative definition of best practices.
