And one COBOL student once submitted a program with all its variables, sections, and so on, named after Tolkien´s "The Lord of the Rings" characters: IF FRODO>GANDALF PERFORM GALADRIEL ELSE GO TO MORDOR, and so on.

Fortunately for him, I like Tolkien too (my birthday is 9/22, the same as Bilbo and Frodo) and I let him go with a warning that if the remaining programs had a single tolkienism in them, he would automatically fail that course. He got the message.

>>In our freshman level JCL/Fortran class the instructor always used animal names for variables in her code snippets. It really bugged me so I submitted one of the assignments where every variable was some animal... she did not think it too funny. *LOL*
