Does anybody else have quirky little bits of comic relief in the source
code? Like my tendency to put allusions to Jadzia or Ezri Dax into the
comments on code that deals with JOINED files? Or a colleague, who was a
real fan of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," naming some input or output buffer
"BUFFY"?
