'null' != null
-
In an product at my old company, the developers needed to ensure that the last name was filled out in an online form. They basically had something like this:
if(txtLastName.value == 'Null')
{
alert('Last Name Required');
}I am sure you can guess what happened....we got a support call because the client had a new employee whose last name was 'Null'....WTF!?
-
I bet that's how the PHP conversion rules were made.
-
I've never met anyone with a surname of Null.... I'll keep an eye on for them!
It also stands to reason that they never tested the form to make sure that their code worked.

My dad reads alot of books from some guy named Dr. Null; I can't remember the doctor's first name or the title of the book. Also there was an article about a Dr. Null a while ago.

Just search the web and found Gary Null - http://garynull.com/

I wish I had the pictures to prove it...
There was a guy with the lastname of Null running for office in a town I commute through.
I'm STILL kicking myself for not taking pictures of his campaign signs."Vote NULL for City Council"
-
And his first name was "Unknown", right? (see http://forums.worsethanfailure.com/forums/thread/136787.aspx)

The surname of Query is really common where I live. There is a graveyard with several headstones with 'Query' in big bold letters....I kind of chuckle whenever I see them. (No I am not laughing at dead people).

Completely irrelevant. You fail.If by "completely irrelevant" you mean "yes, I see that both the WTF and the comic deal with programming keywords as last names" then I agree wholeheartedly.
