What about Klingon Coding practices?
Say, where are those anyway? I can't find them :-/ I remember I tipped
over my office chair and fell on the floor because of laughing so hard.
Here the list -- from Xavier:

While you all debate the pros and con of win/mac/lin and the rest...
Top 12 Things A Klingon Programmer Would Say
12. Specifications are for the weak and timid!
11. This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors
if I am to
do battle with this code!
10. You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in
the original
Klingon.
9. Indentation?! -- I will show you how to indent when I indent
your skull!
8. What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software
'releases'.
Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality
assurance people in its wake.
7. Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' -- they have
'arguments'
-- and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
6. Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle
the weak.
5. I have challenged the entire quality assurance team to a
Bat-Leth contest.
They will not concern us again.
4. A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!
3. By filing this SPR you have challenged the honor of my family.
Prepare to
die!
2. You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where
you stand!
1. Our users will know fear and cower before our software. Ship
it! Ship it,
and let them flee like the dogs they are!
Cheerios

All the best,
