I was looking at an in-house code base today, and the author seems to have a

What are your favorite not-wrong-just-weird Python moments?

My favourite was from a guy I worked with years ago.  In C but I'm sure 
you'll enjoy it.  In all functions, something like:-
int flag = 0;
if flag {
    printf("\nthe string");
}
else{
    printf("the string");
    flag = 1;
}

At least I think I've got it correct, too lazy to check, sorry :)
