[off-topic] Truly awful!
Obnoxio The Clown posted an off-topic programming joke about a string that was not null-terminated. Mike Aubury asked what prompted it and offered a sodium-atom joke of his own; Andrew Hamm said a poll of colleagues found it did not qualify as a joke. Obnoxio replied that they were jealous. No technical content.

These two strings walk into a bar and sit down. The bartender says, "So what'll it be?" The first string says, "I think I'll have a beer quag fulk boorg jdk^CjfdLk jk3s d#f67howe%^U r89nvy~~owmc63^Dz x.xvcu" "Please excuse my friend," the second string says, "He isn't null-terminated." -- "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ''' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche
Did anything in particular prompt this, or is it just a case of gratuitous memory abuse... My fav is still - Two sodium atoms are walking down a street. One says to the other, "hey - I think I've lost an electron" The other asks, "Are you sure ?" The first replies, "Yes - I'm positive..."

I've just taken a quick poll around here. Result: that does not qualify as a joke.
