在一个著名的商业DOS电子表格应用程序中:

/* This comment was just added in order to check-in a file that was last 
checked in by [Insert Programmer FirstName] "Back-to-the-Future" [Insert 
Programmer LastName]. While testing for year 2000 problems, he accidentally 
checked-in this file while his machine clock was set forward to the year 2000. 
This meant that the source code was always newer than the object file and 
compiled every time the code was built. I'm checking this file in again to 
fix that. */

   // Some wanker in ISO got rid of ifstream(int), ofstream(int), and
   // fstream(int).  Twit.

#define FUCK_VS6_CANT_COMPILE_TEMPLATES_WITHOUT_HANDHOLDING ((float*)0)

... 

SetPinsFromChannels`<float`>(&pinbuf, streambuf, &inmapper, FUCK_VS6_CANT_COMPILE_TEMPLATES_WITHOUT_HANDHOLDING);

//Do not continue reading if you dont want to die.

这个差点要了我的命。

大约10年前，我从事图像处理工作，通过扫描显微镜视频帧来检测细胞运动。我当时在做一个特别复杂的工作，决定和朋友出去喝一杯。当我回到家时，我工作了一会儿，但没有太多，因为我喝醉了。第二天早上，我发现了一个10行完全混乱的函数，带有以下注释(显然是我自己写的):

/* Ah ah ah! You'll never understand why this one works. */

最奇怪的是，它竟然起作用了。

try {

}
catch (SQLException ex) {
    // Basically, without saying too much, you're screwed. Royally and totally.
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
    //If you thought you were screwed before, boy have I news for you!!!
}
