For the benefit of those who didn't click the link, it contains this
function in C#:

private void MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
   (sender as PictureBox).Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.GetType();
}

After seeing that, I'm convinced Erlang record syntax is one the
language's best features. If other languages had such a tax, this sort
of thing would be held in check.

Call it a sin tax.

Get it?
