One time someone decided to make a "Condition Checking Framework" so you could check conditions at runtime using pre-configured XML files.

...yeah, someone made XML based if statements.

...they were very proud.

"Special needs" people can be proud, too.

Like rainman so smart but at the end of the day still retarded.

@ryanmhoffman I just call them "defective" 😄

I dunno
That seems like it could be adapted to make a software testing thing
You put specifications via XML and it inserts the required checks.
Doesn't sound too bad, really.
Essentially a dynamic version of a static checker / automated proof tool like Coq.
