Funny language story. I was reviewing someone's code a few weeks ago, in VB6. VB still supports a bunch of the old anachronistic BASIC language features, like line numbers.
I noticed an arbitrary "4:" on one of the lines and I asked him why it was there.
He replied, "I don't know, but it doesn't seem to hurt anything".
I literally facepalmed.
