Not funny. Just as it is not funny that you cannot name a variable int int in a C program. Con is a reserved name for the console device in dos. There is no "folder namespace" for device files in dos like there is in *nix with the dev directory. Design oversight? Probably. Funny? No, and I knew about this 10 years ago so it's not true that someone just discovered it.
