   My favorite all-time error message was when an unexpected character was   
   inserted in source code by accident, such as an accidental K being typed   
   by mistake:   
      
       Spurious 'k' found on row 23, column 1   
      
   :-)  I think it was either MASM 6.x, or Microsoft's C Compiler 6.x.  Can't   
   remember.  I still often think of that error message to this day when a   
   new compiler reports a different error for the same thing.
