Ran across this article / discussion on how to make a good design document.
One comment was particularly funny in there…

Ah yes…the infinitely outlined requirements document is my favorite:
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 The system shall not make tacos on demand.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 The system shall not make tacos on demand with sour cream.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2 The system shall not make tacos on demand with guacomole.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3 The system shall not make tacos on demand with cheddar cheese.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3.1 The system shall not make tacos on demand with sharp cheddar cheese.
1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3.2 The system shall not make tacos on demand with mild cheddar cheese.
…1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2 The system shall not make CHICKEN tacos on demand.
…
this could get messy.

Ha!! :^) Forwarded it to one of our TA’s (Technical Analysts?) and she reported back a literal “Laugh out Loud” … only because she’s seen documents like this, and is thinking of the poor schmuck that has to read all the “one-dot-one-dot-one-dot-etc“‘s in a meeting.
In other news, check out what I look like with the Southpark Character Creation Set (link lost, but graphic saved!).
