Lumping the heretical topics you mention all together: "My XP was self-defeated by a kindly (but dying) Perl gun."

I must admit to some morbid curiosity as to whether this shotgun reputation test will make it to Worst Nodes. More likely this node will pass unnoticed, since I'm joining this discussion so late in the game.

Yes, I'm one of those people who just cannot resist pushing big red buttons with "Do not push" signs hanging above them. One of my favorite movie scenes is when Tom Hanks opens the 'main valve' in his office in Joe versus the Volcano.

It's a gift ... and a curse.
