There was a Polish immigrant to Ireland, a Mr. Prawo Jazdy, who managed to rack up around 100 traffic offences but never showed up to court. Having so many bench warrants issued prompted an investigation. Following intense inquiries, or maybe they just asked a Polish bloke, it emerged that Prawo Jazdy wasn’t so much a Polish man, but rather the Polish words for “driving licence.”
That's like the guy who had a license plate of NULL and got lots of tickets
The univ I worked at let incoming freshmen pick their own username. One used "null." Four years later the DBA had to dump the database to source and manually delete the entry indexed for "null" to get rid of it.
The sysadmins [raises hand] told them not to do that but did they listen....?
one of the greatest reads i ever had was the original 'Bastard Operator from Hell' series who pretty sure at the beginning was college or university employed.
you just reminded me of it.
