[comp.lang.c] Who's cutesy?

Somebody out there uses the following one-liner in their .sig and
it .stuck in my mind.  Does somebody want to claim this?  I could
just attribute it to that most prolific of authors, ``godzilla''.

	``When the code and the comments disagree, both are probably wrong''

Muchly.

Oh. That explains why I never comment my assembler source. There'd be too
much risk of breaking the already delicate code :-) :-) :-)

(And yes I do write Assembler, and I do comment it (sometimes - depends
on my mood, and whether it's a hand compilation of C))
