If I was allowed, I would *love* to show you code written by a 4.0GPA MIT grad.

And, to be completely fair. I'm sure we've all written our fair share of WTF code.

You can't be fair, the PHP isn't the problem.

This post was really more about the variable names than anything else.

I think it's code like this, from the early fortran and cobol days that makes people think that programming is hard.

Unless it's their first programming language, there's not much excuse for bad variable naming.
