Title: Amusing Code
Post by: blackhole on November 16, 2009, 07:25:20 am

found this in the C++ boost library documentation:
 

Code: [Select]

void find_the_question(int the_answer);

boost::thread deep_thought_2(find_the_question,42);

I'm quite familiar with the whole "42" thing, though I've actually never read those novels.

Might have to be my next sci-fi adventure, eh?

Rofl, I know absolutely nothing about C++, but seeing the number "42" made me lol.

Wow, I have no life.

'Deep thought', and 'the question' kinda made it blatant.
