International Obfuscated C Code Tattoo

chongo writes "Some people eschew obfuscation while other live for it. Thomas Scovell has taken obfuscation to a completely new personal level by obtaining the very first International Obfuscated C Code Tattoo. We (the IOCCC Judges) are pleased that Thomas has honored the 1984 anonymous IOCCC winning entry by placing the source code on his arm: the very first IOCCC winner to receive this distinction. The anonymous winner (a person who known for various things on the Internet and has been programming in and associated with C for decades) feels honored by the tattoo as well."

Alrighty, you've convinced me to reveal myself to the world.

It was I that wrote that program, so many years ago!

That's some pretty nasty-looking code. Probably a Perl programmer. :)

If he has a bad experience with C and switches to another language of choice. Can't have the other language asking about the C code tattooed on his arm. :-)
