Oh boy!  Finally got a few minutes to do some reading, and what do I choose? http://www.cracked.com?  No, I want to read the C++ specification and see if I can find any errors.  But I won’t.

What kind of goodies are there in the spec? There are a lot of very focused  examples and definitions, but generally it is pretty dry reading.  No pictures or jokes that I can find, and definitely no Easter Eggs.
