Stephen recently re-encountered a comment despite chipping away at it and putting portions in other classes and DLLs, it is still declared in most of their code files.

Dominic Black was trying to track down a Shell Script/Java problem on a new server and came across this little gem of a JVM error:

# Nothing. I just enjoy the simplicity of an empty Else-clause after this cascade of Ifs.
# Come to think of it: it's quite philosophical that there is no Else but only an If.
# Except this Else then. But that doesn't count.

Craig was looking through an older project that he hadn't been in for a couple of years ago and found this comment that he added. Unfortunately, things haven't improved since then. (submitted from SubmitToWTF Visual Studio Add-In):
// Oh well, another global. It's the accepted way around here apparently. The 80's called, they want their code back. extern ShadowMap *gShadowMap;
