Cheers, anna -- (9) I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such. - Peter Anspach in "The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord"
