I found this in 3 separate classes today (verbatim), and yes, they're all subs of the same super. Thank goodness the weekend is upon us.
Have you submitted this to [url= http://www.thedailywtf.com]thedailywtf[/url]?
It takes talent to come up with something like that.

That's Canadiens Eh ?

Some people would knock this for having a meaningless method name, but I think it's very fitting. The method does something. Not sure what it does, but it's defninitely something.
> I think I just dated myself thereDating yourself is legal in Ontario and PEI; everywhere else there is a statute on the books making such behaviour illegal.
I read an article in the NYT recently which reported the stat that in the USA the percentage of women who were not married had just surpassed 50%.
In contrast, for some Canadian provinces, the percentage of married adults is going up. For instance, in BC, the percentage is increasing, thanks partly to gay marriages -- about 3.5% of total marriages.
I'm not familiar with the stats on dating yourself.
> that's very special :-)
I just saw one the other day that was something like this:
SomeObject myObj = null;
if (myObj == null) {
...
}

Here in the States, as far as my knowledge goes, you can consummate the relationship, but matrimony is illegal and frowned upon.

Well, you do know that code gremlins are real, right? So a gremlin could jump in and change the value of myObj at any moment!

dried apricots are the best.
