Reminds me of the Fortran code (6-char identifier limit) I saw so long  
ago, written by a scientist in our lab. It contained implicit-integer gems  
such as these:
I1OII1
I011OI
II11O1
I0II01

He was having one of his grad students desk-debugging the code. She told  
me that the bad code was the least of her problems, because his  
personality was far worse.

This was the same person who would cancel and resubmit his remote batch  
jobs because they had not advanced quickly enough in the queue, and berate  
me (I maintained the comm line for remote batch) when he never  
accomplished anything in a day's worth of constant resubmittal.
