Random curses from Captain Haddock.

Project description

Aren’t you bored of reading and writing the same error messages over and over again like “Wrong argument!”, “End date must be after start date!” , “Division by zero!” etc. . With the haddock package you will be able to spice them up a bit:

  • “Wrong argument, dipsomaniac!”

  • “End date must be after start date, whipper-snapper!”

  • “Division by zero, interplanetary goat!”

To do this, the method curse() of this package returns random curses from Captain Haddock. At the moment it supports curses in english (default), german and french.

The sources for the curses are - en: http://www3.sympatico.ca/brooksdr/haddock/main.htm - de: https://weltenwandel.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/ die-1w100-fluche-des-kapitan-haddock/ - fr: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocabulaire_du_capitaine_Haddock

Pull requests for other languages are welcome.
