I find it fascinating that quite a few of the Wats given on the
landing page are specifically poking fun at IEEE floating point
(completely documented and intended behaviour that exists across many
languages), yet the "Wat Quiz", also in that repository, specifically
excludes floats. TRWTF is inconsistently poking fun at a language's
consistencies.
