That reminds me of the game GunBound, a multiplayer game. In each round, a player can choose between different "extras" (I forgot the official name). When I asked what a certain "extra" did, one of the other players - must have been from the opposing team - told me that "the feature is activated by pressing Alt-F4". Of course, if I did this, GunBound would quit without asking; and my team would have played with one player less.

>Once upon a time, before the additional keys on the keyboard which simulate ctrl+escape and shift+f10, on a discussion board someone asked whether there was a way to do a threefinger (aka "to cross the computer" - this being in Serbia where one doesn't cross oneself with the whole palm, but with three fingers) with one hand.

>The messages started flowing in, there were at least six good ideas on where to put which finger (one of them involving just two fingers - a thumb for the right alt and right ctrl). Then one guy reported that he just rebooted his machine while reading the messages... just forgot he was online and tried the thing right away.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
