Where can I find ridiculous, outstanding or simply hilarious source code examples ( good and bad ) [closed]?

This is a very special question, and I'd appreciate if you could help me out on this one. Today, we are initiating our computer science freshmen with a party. One of the anticipated highlights is the "source code karaoke", a game where random source code snippets have to be sung to the melody of a well-known song.

Since i'm the one chosen to assemble some "funny" source code, I thought that this is the very best place to ask for some suggestions. What I'm looking for ( and yes, I'm also looking, it's not that i'm totally lazy and just waiting for someone else to do my job ) is source that is both readable ( no kernel-boot-asm-code ), maybe redundant ( like some dailywtf-stuff ) or simply hilarious. Have you wrote something funny 10 years ago?

Now is the time to share it :-) Once again, I know that this is not a regular SO-question, but I think it has some right to be here. Thanks a lot already for your input, Moritz. Source link|improve this question asked Oct 13 '11 at 11:51moritz1,461516 71% accept rate.

Should give it a shot then :-) ( btw, if you are curious, it's the hdm-stuttgart.de they are enrolled at. ) – moritz Oct 13 '11 at 11:57.

My first thought was "The Windows 95 Source Code" on CodeProject Subject: *** TOP SECRET MICROSOFT CODE *** Project: Version - Windows 95 Microsoft marketing strategy (MARKET.

I think you should include some Perl poetry, e.g. Perlmonks.org.

Nice, thanks! Didn't know that site ( don't know perl to well either.. ) – moritz Oct 13 '11 at 11:56.

I recall these "hilarious" snippets from years back: j-walk.com/ss/jokes/vbahumor.htm e. G Cocktail = Abs(Vodka) and Sub MachineGun ().

I know you won't be able to sing it, but if you just throw it out there it would make everyone laugh at the complexitiy of singing something like that. You could use it as the last song to end the karaoke.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
