Q: What is the funniest filename you have ever seen? (via Quora)
A: Funniest one I recall was actually a folder name.
Back in the day, serious PC users could create small scripts to automate repetitive tasks. These scripts were actually a series of manual commands that the operating system would execute, same as if you’d typed in each command individually.
Because these scripts were a series or batch of commands, the scripts were called batch files, and had the filename extension .bat .
Most people put their batch files in the root folder/directory, but one clever guy — I wish I remembered his name — collected all his .bats in a folder called /belfry . 🙂
