html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,  p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td
{
    border: 0;
    font-weight: inherit;
    font-style: inherit;
    font-family: inherit;
    margin: 0;
    outline: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

Oh god why.

The selector is fking ridiculous and could be replaced with * (I'm assuming he's trying to grab every tag...)

font-weight, font-style, font-family all auto-inherit and have since at least CSS2.1, made the standard Feb 2004. (I'm too lazy to dig any further back)

This is what I see on a daily basis:

public function __construct() {
   $this->obj = New User($REQUEST->_id]);
   $this->object_2 = New Something($stuff);
}

Yes, I have two coworkers who name variables "obj" and "object".

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

I remember days like that.

My job introducing me to frameworks was the best thing that ever happened to me, programming wise.
