Programming Funny
-
One 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:

Awww, what's wrong with a little humor?

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, 10/26/2001Stuff 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. :)

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.

That one was for my coworkers (joke) and wasn't meant to go any further up the chain of command. AFAIK, it never did :) Mark

:laugh: I laughed out loud when I read that one! Now that's good geek humor!

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:
