I will not tell my kids regular scary stories. I will tell them about embedded systems

When you program embedded you'll also dereference NULL pointers at some point.

More...Some platforms can have something interesting at memory address 0x0 (it's often NULL in C).

In amd64/x86 kernel space you can dereference null as well. My hobby kernel keeps critical kernel structures there XD.
