Today I found a variable named:
$bug_189_note_1947
Speaking of "self-documenting" code ...
It isn't really self-documenting so much as documentation-referential, is it? But it could be very well documented and discussed on the bugtracker!

I suppose that's true. I just found it a little humorous; I was cleaning up some files and noticed this, thought about commenting it, and decided to leave it be, because it really says exactly what you should do if you want to know what it's about...

Wow! 1947 is a long time ago.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty old. 
pfftt...I'm working on one from the 17th century: PRSI-1612.
Well, you'll note the bug is from the 2nd century; the note just got added 1758 years later.
We work kinda slow around here, apparently . . .
