I think my first posting with this title was so good I'm going to continue the thread as a whole category. I'll hide names to protect the guilty, but I've heard or seen a few more examples of bizarre programming that make me twitch.
I'd love to get some more feed back - so feel free to commiserate or share.
There's one last point, which is, as absurd and perverted some stories may be, I don't want to come off like a big, fat whiner. Nor should anyone think I feel like I'm so much better than any evil-doers I might describe. Like I said to someone at a recent NJ Code Camp, I know enough to know what's bad. I may not always know the right direction to move in, but I know enough to move in the opposite direction of fire.
