" the The world's last C bug "
Iam  probably on a reject list. I am sending this again 
I think this C program  was pretty humorous :
 
 while (1)
 {
   status = GetRadarInfo();
   if (status = 1)
     LaunchMissiles();
 }

As soon as our Computer Science freinds decide which language
and which computer is the best, we will buy that computer
and learn and  use that language. The problem is that they keep changing
their minds on us from :

Pascal, C, C++, Java, Python, Cobra oops, Corba, ....

whereas

FORTRAN plans to be Fortran, Fortran-2, Fortran-4,
Fortran-66, Fortran-77,.... 

While they change their minds several times  over the next century
we can hold our breath and program in Fortran on our very old
computers.

 I waiting for that language until then FORTRAN with its weaknesses
serves the purpose.
