Towards the end of 2001, I stumbled across a site that had "hello world" in
several hundred different languages, probably this one:
http://www.ntecs.de/old-hp/uu9r/lang/html/lang.en.html
The forum and the archive sold it. Two projects and two years later I went back
and had another hunt for something better. Still have not found it, which I
suppose is the best compliment I can give.

I once picked up a book entitled "More Exceptional C++".
In Chapter 1, Item 9 posed the question

    What does f(a++) mean?

The answer as given listed four completely different things that f could be 
and 3 completely different things that a could be. Shortly after realising
that not only could it mean just about anything, there were at least twelve
different ways it could mean just about anything, I put the book down.
