I'd like to thank the Alex for the ticket, the Posse for judging and
all of the hard work they do (seriously, thanks guys), Kevin, and last
but not least Nicholas Forth, inventor of the for loop.

I'd love to go, but find myself to be living on the wrong continent...

Here is one that stuck in my memory. I worked with a brilliant guy that
could solve problems in about any domain electrical, mechanical etc. When
ever he programed in C he would check the compiler he was using to see what
op codes it was generating. He was always programming a layer deeper that
Well, it makes some possibly invalid assumptions, but here's one
possible loop.

public class Loop {
public static void main(String[] a) throws Exception {
if (a.length == 0) a = new String[]{"Hello World!"};
if (a[0].length() == 1) System.out.println(a[0].charAt(0));

Unlike the original Java, it's open source - so if anyone wanted to add
features to scalac, they'd be more likely to fork it than to start from
scratch working against the spec.
Even that is highly unlikely because:
1. scalac has a plugin mechanism for extending/changing functionality

I actually got the numbers wrong here. although the final page has 649
printed on it, acrobat informs me that the document is in fact 684 pages
long,
Java (3rd Edition): 684 pages, 7932 KB

Why would this be so? I can think of a few reasons:

Yes, Mark, it does. C works in mysterious ways, and this is just one
in a long, possibly endless, procession of them. Duff's device is one
of those hallowed "WTF? Oh.. Ooooh! I get it! Whoever cooked this up

I tried to go for a strange "Strange loop" (

loop of doom. Please forgive the quick thrown-together implementation =)

`http:` is the label (followed by a comment that the pre-processor strips

`do { ... } while (...)` is the labelled statement

Does this even compile?
As you have the do {} inside the first case statement, and all other case's
are inside the do. Since there's not in scope of the case I'd expect
this to fail? But then - I'm no C/C++ guy so who knows what wacky hackery
they get up to :)
