Speaking about ancient stuff, 

   c=-1 can be construed as either c = (-1) or c -= (1)

in good old K&R.  So much for eliminating ambiguity.  
Never mind unamibuous, but often misleading stuff like: 

   char foo[]={
      104,
      103,
      102,
      101,
      100,
      099,
      098,
      097,
      096,
      095,
   };

Yup.  That was a good one (about the emacs operating system).
