Software development bitmap hall of fame...

I grabbed the Coding Horrors bitmap from the free chapter of McConnell's Code Complete 2 at the asp.netPRO website. 

I think this picture strikes me as the funniest in all computer books - it's so dead-on.  When I run into ugly code, the image instantly pops into my head.  The only way it could be funnier is if the hair was animated like an old Scooby-doo cartoon. 

My second favorite is the "recursive head-to-keyboard" animated image I've used in blogging before.

There are quite a few in Jim McCarhty's book that I like, but the images are more than a simple little bitmap so I didn't include them here.

Does anyone have other images that hit home?

I _LOVE_ the coding horror picture, so much so that when I first read code complete I was going to start a web site called "code crimes" or something like that (similar to thedailywtf.com) and use that as the logo. Thanks for the picture.
