ROTFLMAOBTC.  Exactly how many bugs are in the BEGIN and END statements?
About as many as are in the { and } statements.  According to the statistics
I have read there is not a lot of variance in the bugs / lines of code
across languages.  And simply appending 47 lines of code in one line does
NOT lower the count.  It simply causes that one line to have 2.3 bugs in it.

Sander,

With 19 lines of code you'd still have a 5% probability of a bug. Maybe
that's why C programmers disparage VB for being too verbose.

John,

you say:
"..but statistics say 1 in 20 lines of code has a bug."

If I understand correctly we have to cut up our apps in little dll's that
contain a max of 19 lines and were in the clear. We could even leave the
error handling! hahaha!!!
