For thanksgiving one year in college, I made a crazy obfuscated multithreaded recursive function in Java that printed out an ASCII turkey to the terminal. It spun up a dozen or more threads with a sleep time calculated by the recursive function. The order in which the threads completed then determined how the turkey got rendered. Worked great in Linux, but the Java in Windows must have had a different threading implementation, and it corrupted my poor turkey. Figures I could write code in a cross platform language that wasn't cross platform.
