Nice one, I like it.

It reminds me of a programmer I had working for me a few years ago - produced a very long piece of code, which appeared to have no comments - when I asked him why it hadn't got any, he showed me it had - all starting at column 100, off the screen, because he thought it mad his program look tidier.

Another time, he produced a piece of code with no unnecessary spaces or blank lines, he'd been told that programmer's should aim at producing compact code. The worst of it was that he wasn't joking, he really did think that was what was meant.
