The funniest version of the History of Programming Languages, just one small piece bellow:
1970 - Guy Steele and Gerald Sussman create Scheme. Their work leads to a series of "Lambda the Ultimate" papers culminating in "Lambda the Ultimate Kitchen Utensil." This paper becomes the basis for a long running, but ultimately unsuccessful run of late night infomercials. Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them.And the best:
1987 - Larry Wall falls asleep and hits Larry Wall's forehead on the keyboard. Upon waking Larry Wall decides that the string of characters on Larry Wall's monitor isn't random but an example program in a programming language that God wants His prophet, Larry Wall, to design. Perl is born.
:D
I saw this post from Harald Welte on Google Reader shared by Raphael.
It's like Shakespeare writting a kernel commit message, very funny :-)

In days of old in 2.6.29, netfilter did locketh using a lock of the reader kind when doing its table business, and do a writer when with pen in hand like a overworked accountant did replace the tables. This sucketh and caused the single lock to fly back and forth like a poor errant boy. But then netfilter was blessed with RCU and the performance was divine, but alas there were those that suffered for trying to replace their many rules one at a time. So now RCU must be vanquished from the scene, and better chastity belts be placed upon this valuable asset most dear. The locks that were but one are now replaced by one per suitor. The repair was made after much discussion involving Eric the wise, and Linus the foul. With flowers springing up amid the thorns some peace has finally prevailed and all is soothed. This patch and purple prose was penned by in honor of "Talk like Shakespeare" day. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

Sadly, computers don't have rights, so moral arguments aside, I'm afraid it's quite legal to run Windows on them.

With a special mention to "Hungarian Notation Revisited"
As software developers we may find, more often than we wanted, hideous tasks in our daily assignments, this text describes one class of this tasks, that is, deal with bad work of other professionals.
But it comes with a good amount of dark humor inside, that can make you laugh, or cry :)

Take a look at JUnit´s javadoc for the static method
