Delta_G:
You have a choice where to put your energy, making things pretty or making things work. Code that doesn't work is a bit useless.
You're implying that pretty code doesn't work! I assure you, you're wrong 
Delta_G:
being able to debug your code is of the ultimate importance. The "cuteness" of your comments doesn't affect that at all.
Maybe not for you 
Can I just point out that I happened to stumble across the one exception, that applies to this language only? lol
Delta_G:
pretty-ing up your comments is what got you into trouble here.
You make a good point, but if my comments don't stand out to me, the development process takes much longer.
