Nox I was just reading a website about "Obfuscated Programming". So here is my 15 minute work =)

Simply Copy&Paste into a HTML. Testet with newest FF.

<script>var _=[' bottle',' of beer',' on the wall','Take one down, pass it around','If one of those bottles should happen to fall','Go to the store and buy some more.','No more '];document.writeln({$:function(_){var __='';if(_ instanceof Array)for(var $$ in _)__+=this.$(_[$$])+'<br>';return __||_;},$_:function(n){var $$=this.$(n?[n+_[0]+(n==1?'':'s')+_[1]+_[2],n+_[0]+(n-1?'s':'')+_[1]+'!',(n-1?_[3]:_[4]),n-1?(n+_[0]+(n==1?'':'s')+_[1]+_[2]+'!'):(_[6]+_[0]+'s'+_[1]+_[2]+'!'),'']:[_[6]+_[0]+'s'+_[1]+_[2],_[6]+_[0]+'s'+_[1]+'!',_[5],99+_[0]+'s'+_[1]+_[2]+'!']);if(n--){$$+=this.$_(n);}return $$;}}['$_'](99));</script>
