Found this on an internal website while trying to discover why the internal server had to be restarted so often, and even simple pages were megabytes in size. I had just restarted Apache on the development server, and this was the fifth page loaded.

Just when I think the forums can't get any more WTF-ish, they come through for me!

of course, just in case they didn't load the first five times, let's copy and paste it one more time!

I don't think you understand. If I had gone to another computer and loaded another page from the server, that page would have six stylesheet groups. Get the WTF now?

So somebody actually went out of their way to do this?

For their own sake, I hope it was an attempt at sabotage by a disgruntled emp/temp... the pure irony of somebody achieving that simply through ineptitude is just overwhelming.

Amazingly, it was unintentional. The in-house coded template system's method of adding stylesheets or javascript is to append them to a per-template array. This dates back to the first version, where templates were re-read from the file on every page load to ease development. But then it was put in production mode, the templates were re-used, and nobody cared enough to notice.
