I get emails once a month from a certain discount hotel reservations website that begins:
Dear, NULL

As much as names like "Null Schwartz" amuse me, you know the poor kid would have an awful rough time in school.
"What's your name?"
"Null"
"What does null mean?"
"Zero."
On a similar note, I know a programmer who named his kid "Remmy". I always wondered if it was some how related to the REM style of comment delimeter. Which brings me to this comic:

Réné is a French name. Remmy might be it's English distorted equivalent..
-
you're right.. kind of. Its French, but doesn't seem to be related to Rene (at least as far as i can tell)

I think I'll stick with my original plan for my first child, his/her middle name WILL be "Danger".

This is one thing where VB has the C syntax languages beat. You just need the tip of your middle finger to do a ' gesture. It has the added benefit of unintentionally getting the message accross to the recipient, too!

No it doesn't.Trying to explain undefined to young classmates would be interesting but difficult. It's almost a philosophical concept.

@jinpa Seems easy enough. Ask them if they know what it means. When they say no, say "see?".
In other news, you're almost a philosophical concept.
