Heh, I like that "sphagetti code" :)

I don't think that a valid page will rank any better than a non-valid-but-still-works-ok page. However, as has been said, if the code is so riddled with errors that the spider doesnt get to the content, you've had it.

Whats the best way to find out if this happens to your page? VALIDATE IT! The W3C validator is great at exposing faults that will kill a spiders attempts to read a page. Plus, valid code is cool :)
