  9. Through the looking-glass by Ashtead · · Score: 2, Funny

    "You're in a maze of little functions, all alike. In the distance you hear somebody practicing throwing chairs."

    And all of the functions have at least seven arguments, and one of these is a pointer to variable-length structs that have to be populated before calling the function. Another argument that always appears is an opaque pointer referring to SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, which may be, and usually is, set to NULL becuse no-one is arsed to go through the necessary contortions of obtaining the required credentials.... stuff works anyways.
