Funny Code

[keyboard]

Anyone seen some especially hilarious or painfull code over the years?

Found this whilst browsing the internet... can't remember where it's from now...

x = x;

When asked to explain their code, the person said "I wanted to make sure that x doesn't lose it's value".

This is hilarious, of course. But there are cases very similar to the one you mention where seemingly tautologous lines are not a real tautology. For instance, the following script will not work without the lines in red:

<script>
var x=document.createElement('div')
function hilarious(laughing,some_id)
{
x.innerHTML='<div>'+laughing+'<\/div>'; 
x.setAttribute("id",some_id);
ssome_id=some_id;
setTimeout('some_id=ssome_id',0);
setTimeout('document.getElementById(some_id).innerHTML=document.body.appendChild(x).innerHTML',100)
}
</script>

Wow, that's precious....

Thanks for that molendijk!

EDIT - Here's some more from here

stop(); // Hammertime!

return 1; # returns 1

// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis 
   $str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);

Catch (Exception e) {
 //who cares?
}

/* Emits a 7-Hz tone for 10 seconds.
  True story: 7 Hz is the resonant frequency of a
  chicken's skull cavity. This was determined
  empirically in Australia, where a new factory
  generating 7-Hz tones was located too close to a
  chicken ranch: When the factory started up, all the
  chickens died.
  Your PC may not be able to emit a 7-Hz tone. */

main()
{
    sound(7);
    delay(10000);
    nosound();
}

Not from the link provided, but still funny

motor[Wheel_Left] = 50;
motor[Wheel_Right] = 45; // to make it go in a straight line

Any more anyone?

Thanks.

This one actually works. I just find it a little humorous how it's worded (highlighted added due to lack of context):

(function(){
  var dash = /-(.)/g;
  function toHump(a, b){return b.toUpperCase();};
  String.prototype.encamel = function(){return this.replace(dash, toHump);};
})();

I don't really get it???

[jscheuer1]

Which? What it does, or why (dash, toHump) is a little funny?

(dash, toHump)
