Please forgive me for this "indiscretion", but does anyone know where the
following Top 10 came from?  I am told that there is a web site filled with this
type of programmer humor, but nobody could come up with the name.  BTW, I have
already discovered that, if you are not a Star Trek fan, you probably will find
little humor in this; you really have to be thinking of Worf.

And, no, I am NOT a "trekkie".

Top 10 things likely to be overheard if you had a Klingon on your software
development team:

    10. "This code is a piece of crap!  You have no honor!"

    9.  "A TRUE Klingon warrior does not comment his code!"

    8.  "By filing this bug you have questioned my family honor. Prepare to
die!"

    7.  "You question the worthiness of my Code?!  I should kill you where you
stand!"

    6.  "Our competitors are without honor!"

    5.  "Specs are for the weak and timid!"

    4.  "This machine is a piece of GAGH!  I need dual Pentium processors if I
am to do battle with this code!"

    3.  "Perhaps it IS a good day to Die!  I say we ship it!"

    2.  "My program has just dumped Stova Core!"

    1.  "Behold, the keyboard of Kalis!  The greatest Klingon code warrior that
ever lived!"
