Since I write code for a living I just have to buy some of those Bad Code Offset's (for coworkers). Of course my code is perfect ;-)
When I heard there was FORTRAN code in FOIA.zip, I predicted that it would be even worse than any FORTRAN I've written. And it looks like I was right.
Finally, someone I can look down on.
Turing word: "hylec". An easy one for a change, as befits a superior FORTRAN programmer such as myself.
The charlatans behind this scam have brought shame and disrepute to the entire scientific/programming community. Jones, Mann et al. should be frog-marched down to Market Square and locked in stocks. All day, every day, the righteous will scorn. All night, every night, the excitable andy's will play their version of "Hide the Decline".
Actually, the original FORTRAN code was pretty good; but at some point, the box of punch cards got spilled; and they just never recovered.

H. L. Mencken nailed it...
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
Famous weather scientist, Dr. Algore , formerly associated with A.S.S.H.O.L.E. (Algores Scatological Scientific Hagiographic Of Ludicrous Environmentalism) until it's disbandment, and who was the creator of C.A.T.S.H.I.T. (Cap And Trade Scientific Hagiography & International Treatise) now finds himself linked to the famous group, D.O.G.T.U.R.D. (Dumpers Of Global Temperature Unit's Research Data),headquartered in East Anglia. This is the latest in a series of astounding efforts to preserve and increase tax payer supported financial backing and grants to the huge group of psuedo scientists, hell bent on redistributing the resources of the developed world and driving those countries into poverty.This of course while enriching their own bank accounts..............We wish Dr. Algore continued similar results and hope that he and all the fine crew (cru-climate research unit) will be able to get the accommodations they so richly deserve, at the Mookatorium in Arbuckle, Virginia.
