Yoricking
++ Yoricking is much like rubber-ducking, except the rubber duck is replaced with a human skull, or a facsimile if a real skull is not available. The name comes from Hamlet's dead companion, who's skull Hamlet speaks to throughout the play. +
++ Why talk to a skull to work out your code problems instead of a duck? First off, verisimilitude. It's much easier to imagine you're conversing with a human if you're holding human remains in your hand. Secondly, skulls don't squeak - you can't idly squeak a skull and annoy your coworkers during a work zoom meeting. Thirdly, the skull will remind you of impermanence and the inevitability of death, encouring you to live with spontaneity. I'm not sure how that last one will help you code, but it's a bonus. +
