To me this looks like reused code, from another piece, which does nearly the same (like reading the hole table into an array). Perhaps the author was in hurry and tried to make the things going work very fast, in which this method of code reuse is a very safe method.
Despite from that, there are much more ugly code pieces on this site; but the code above is't <em>that ugly</em>. It's really understandable and easy, it does the things not very efficient, but everyone can change this within minutes without side effects.
And btw: german programmers are better cause they drink beer :)
