So I’m browsing usenet the other day looking for a little info on the behavior of the windows Console API. (On a tangent for work. It was nothing assigned to me, and I have far more important things to work on, but I’m prone to getting lost in the weeds. On no, wait. I think I’m doing it again.)

ANYWAY, I found this amusing posting (from a Finish feller, no less) that I thought I’d share.

The fun thing is, backspacing too far only really crashes the console
handler. However, the NT kernel is so brilliantly engineered, that it
constantly watches the console handler process, and if it notices the
console handler has crashed, it gets all depressed, thinks “Oh no, life
is not worth living any more”, and commits suicide. Just out of spite.
