A friend once deleted the kernel image on his Mac by typing "rm foo *" 
instead of "rm foo*". As root. In the root directory. And thank god he 
didn't use -r.

People trying to help him on IRC (taking the kernel from their machines, for 
example) all asked "what the heck were you doing with a root command line on 
a *Mac* anyway?"
