I haven't made it though the whole thing yet, but it is so hilarious in the early bits that I have to pass it on. It's basically a tongue-in-cheek description of how to make your code completely impossible to maintain, and it looks like a lot of fun.
Oh my! Did I really write "early bits"? I seem to be picking up some expressions from our British friends in the Palm community! In fact I can almost hear Sammy's PA podcast voice saying the words with an Irish accent! ;-)
Anyway, here's an example from the intro...

In the interests of creating employment opportunities in the Java programming field, I am passing on these tips from the masters on how to write code that is so difficult to maintain, that the people who come after you will take years to make even the simplest changes. Further, if you follow all these rules religiously, you will even guarantee yourself a lifetime of employment, since no one but you has a hope in hell of maintaining the code. Then again, if you followed all these rules religiously, even you wouldn't be able to maintain the code!
