The Work of the Old Masters

Was just looking at the source code to the very first version of MacPaint which was released today, and saw this gem:


;---------------------------------------------------------------------
;
;  FUNCTION Monkey: BOOLEAN;
;
         TST      MonkeyLives                ;IS THE MONKEY ACTIVE ?
         SGE      4(SP)                      ;YES IF >= ZERO
         NEG.B    4(SP)                      ;CONVERT TO PASCAL BOOLEAN
         RTS

         .SEG 'SegPrint'
         .PROC Stretch2x

Pure genius.
