    Dear null,

    In case you can’t tell, this is a grown-up place. The fact that you insist on using your unassigned handle clearly shows that you’re too young and too stupid to be using FIDONet.

    Go away and grow up.

    Sincerely, Bert Glanstron

    I can just imagine Alex sitting in a meeting with his co-workers:

    Alex: "How stupid do I think our TDWFT readers are? Allow me to demonstrate."

    Also, bring back MFD!

    This was too much for my brain to process. Several fuses in my brains have exploded. True impact of WTF has been felt hard by my brain cells. How can I recover?

    Why is the article null?

    I can imagine that this article will bring the most number of comments yet. It's simply terrific.

    I, too, looked in the source of the page to see if there is more of it to enjoy.

    Don't you work the night shift in Hyderabad? So presumably you've been up for a while, right? Also, wouldn't "Need more tea" be more culturally authentic? I'm starting to think this is all an act...

    Hm, at least the site isn't written in pure PHP and he just got Array. I hate when that happens.

    Certainly it will have the best, well, highest, ratio of comments to article text size...

    I don't know quite how we got onto that topic but yes please bring it back, it generated nearly all the best comments.:-)

  • Dotan Cohen (unregistered)

    As people keep commenting and the body content of the article approaches null, the comments/body ratio approaches infinity. I think that we may have reached infinity today.

    You can't call ToString() on a null. You'd get a NullReferenceException, not 'null'.
    I guess you've never caught an exception. Bully for you.

    I've never caught an exception either. Unless by exception, you mean crabs.

    Separate article? This article isn't even published yet, look at the title, it clearly states: {unpublished}

    So you guys are looking at unpublished content. Shame on you all!
