Story from the Shoot Yourself in the Foot Dept.

[Jason Watson]

Not quite as bad as that but about a month ago I managed to rm -rf ./* in my
/etc directory.  I tried to run a command after that and the shell replied
"You Don't Exist - Go Away".  Real polite I must say.  I took a picture of
the screen with my digital camera so I could reflect on my non-existance.
