We're working on a module for another app and the whole project is controlled by the company that wrote the app. One of their testers submitted the following bug in PVCS a couple of days ago: The message "THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT SHOW UP IN PRODUCTION" is showing up is production. You should have to pay for comedy like this. :)

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001One guy I worked with added a the phrase Zork comment to print from his code in a place that he was sure the code could NEVER get to. After it had been deployed about 6 months, a boss, with absolutly no sense of humor, some how got the phrase "You are in a maze of twisty passages" to pop up on his screen. I thought it was really funny, the guy who got it to come up, didn't. :laugh:

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001Stuff I have put into code: A messagebox that reads "TK-421, why aren't you at your post?" This is actually in response to an easter egg of sorts that I put in (the code to activate it is 1.138... it's actually a diagnostics tool that only I know about). A bitmap of two stick figures (one with a cape) having a light saber duel. (This one actually showed up in the field once due to a bug.) A bunch of quotes from Wargames: "Would you like to play a game" "Greetings professor Falcon" And so on. No one has ever stumbled onto these. A coworker put the classic "up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a-start" code into one of our apps. It's still in there. (Using enter instead of start.) I'd go nuts if I couldn't do this sort of thing. :)

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001This reminds me of a similar, funny situation. :) One day, while demoing a legacy software product of ours to a customer, a message box appeared reading "This should never happen". Hmm... nice. The reaction? Yes, that message should never happen. A couple weeks later the team and I searched the entire legacy code base and had all of these messages removed. They were everywhere.

We had one that was never supposed to show up, but did for a customer. In the event there was an undefined error, the program would display: "Captain to engineering - Shut 'er down Scottie, the system's suckin' mud." I thought we got them all, but evidently I was mistaken. :)

"The workplace is not a place for humor!" - qouted to me by a manager I didn't report to, but I was doing some work for. So, as I was moving on to another task, I gave him a quarter and told him to buy himself a better sense of humor. :laugh: He was not amused...and he didn't use the quarter.

I have a comment about that but I am afraid it is not kid sister safe. "Some one needs to get l..." :rolleyes: From your profile: We figured out it would take two man weeks to to develop the "Hello World" program. :wtf::omg:
