Silly Jokes

Hi everyone,

I'm a huge fan of silly code snippets, made up and real ones. Here are some of my favorites:

Code:

---

int getRandomNumber()
{
        return 4;    // carefully chosen by rolling a dice
}

---

Code:

---

while(1)
        fork();

---

Code:

---

/* no comment */

---

Code:

---

#define moin main

int moin(int argc, char *argv[]) {
        // ...
}

---

If your German is a bit rusty, the last one probably needs some explanation: "moin" is generally accepted as short for "Guten Morgen"/"Hallo", which means "Good Morning"/"Hello" in English.

What else have you got?

Trust people who name operating systems after horned beasts: How the way people code "Hello World" varies

My fav's were the "seasoned hacker" and "guru hacker"...!

Which is the same place I found "C+-: The first subject-oriented programming language". Hahaha...

ps. the only people who say "Good Morning"/"Hello" in English now-a-days are the same schizoid meglomaniacs who say "See You Later"/"Good Bye"/(pause)/"Farewell" and then throw in some Italian and Portuguese just to be sure.

Here are some very good math formulae

Does this describe anyone near you?

Code:

---

struct freelancer {
  short  temper;
  long  lunch;
  double money;
  void  *work;
  char  unstable;
};

one that I used in a program a while back:

Code:

---

#define hello int
#define world main
/* some other defines... */
hello world(hello World,hellO* WorlD he1L0) {...

I like it!, even I have no idea how that code can create that output! :D

Nice understatement!


Here's some more silly stuff:

Code:

---

/* YOUR KUNG-FU IS OLD AND NOW YOU MUST DIE!! */
exit(0);

---

From a Makefile:

Code:

---

love:
        @echo not war.

---

And the famous comment from Unix Sixth Edition source code:

Code:

---

/* You are not expected to understand this */

More funny stuff can be found on Dennis Ritchie's homepage.


And for some profound insight on the quality of Linux source code, try the following:

Code:

---

grep -R "[Ff]uck" /usr/src/linux/
