Some comments I found in code once:
# Table parsing, old friend... We have spent many long evenings together,
# working through your broken tables, talking about your issues with
# implicit thead elements, and your quirky tr/th heuristics. But ... but
# but it's time for us to move on. We can't keep doing this. It's not you,
# it's me...
#
# I've ... I've met someone new. She's beautiful, she's modern, and she's
# elegant. She's logical, she's clean, and she's well-structured, if you
# know what I mean...
#
# She always puts a single tr in her thead's, and what's more, she's always
# got a thead. Her tbody's support her tr's, and she never forgets them.
# Life is simpler now. Better. Less miscommunication, fewer arguments over
# what defines a header row. Sometimes it lasts in parsing code, but
# sometimes, it hurts instead...
#
# IF YOU EXTEND THIS CODE TO SUPPORT YOUR BROKEN HTML
# TABLES I WILL FIND YOU. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Thanks to Pete for much amusement.
