I always loved that Java has a NullPointerException but doesn't have the concept of pointers in the language (only references).

That is because they planed to add pointers and then gave up.

I can't tell if you are making a joke but I can believe it could happen if it's Java

C# has NullReferenceException and it actually makes sense.
