And please get consent from people before modifying and reposting their
files.  It is too easy to say "To slow down animations, type "rm *".
This will tell UNIX to go slower..."

If you think that is ridiculous, a person here posted to a local
newsgroup: 
Cool new UNIX command:

echo "jjjjjhjejjjljjljo jjIjjmjjj jajjnjjjj ijjjjdjjijjojjt" |sed
/r/j//g | wall
or something like that, which has the effect of posting the message
"hello Im an idiot" to all the users online.  Funny at first, but it was
being run so much be beginners that the sysadmin disabled the wall
command.
