    It would make a lot more sense if the code laid out the bitmap with the same widths as the data. For example, image 6 is a 25x25 bitmap which looks like a clover. Sadly, the text gets stretched out here, but imagine without the huge spaces on the line breaks:

    By now, the lack of school-provided meals will have starved him to death.
    Didn't his friend get on here an announce that he died of dysentery?
    I see. I suppose he had plenty of feces to eat then. Can Indian code nourish?

    Naw, it's just a power outage...
    In Hindi, we have no words for power outage. Only word for power innage.

    And that's a loan word. The word is "extension cord".

    TRWTF is programming languages that make 0's different colors than 1's.

    I think you'll find that was either the IDE or whoever marked up the post, nothing to do with the programming language.

    Well, real or not, that comment is still just as irritating. Possibly more so, now that I'm aware its probably irritating on purpose.
